coolant temp guage not working after body lift!!

i installed my body lift and my new radiator, swaped to an electric fan setup, and now my coolant temp guage is not working what could be going on?? could the sensor have come unplugged during the lift?? if so where is it located?? this body lift has been a major P.I.T.A. if you know what i mean.

I would think it's an unplugged wire. Just trace them back from the gauge (if possible).

well i know a coolant temp sensor has to be somewhere in a water port/jacket on the enigine. my grand am had one on the intake but since our intake is a "dry" intake i dont know... maybe i will try what you say..

ok if anyone needs this the coolant temp sensor should be located under the manifolds about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through. it should just be a single-wire setup..
