Temp sensor not working
My temp gauge hasn't ever worked right and I decided to put a new sensor in it to get it to work. So I went to car quest and bought the sensor for the gauge but it still won't work. K must be bad gauge. Put a new one in and still won't read. What do y'all think? Ps it sits right at 100 then when I start the jeep it will rise to the other side then fall back when it's started.

Possible ground/wire issue. Try grounding the wire, with the key on I believe it should max out. At least that's how it works for the oil pressure sender.
Also, did you use teflon tape on the sensor? That will affect reading. Did you clean the connections on the IP when you replaced the gauge?
