Default 63 temp gauge flickers

While cruising city streets today I noticed my temp. ga. was registering about 210. I thought that was incorrect, due to circumstances, so watched the ga. It then bounced back down to 180 and flickered back to about 200. I used the brakes, turn signals, lights, etc. and nothing electrical seemed to effect it. It went back to 180 and stayed there. When I applied the park brake before opening garage door the needle moved up again, but returned to 180 after parking. The sender is a couple years old and this is the first time the gauge has ever flucuated in this manner. Suggestions, other than learn to live with it? Thanx- lib

Is the connection at the sender clean, free of corrosion, and tight? Bill
