Default temp gauge

yea so my car crapped friday. ran really hot and now is currently getting worked on for coolant loss and junk. anyhow, i replaced the tstat and ran it for a while. the analog gauge didnt work. i just got my new 8krpm tach in and hope it isnt busted. having run hot, what could it be? the digital gauge button will still give good readings, but analog stays bottomed out. is that more a sensor goin bad or is the gauge shot? if it's the gauge, can i get it fixed? do i have to buy another entire dash unit? please help.


thanks,
Stuart

Although gauges do occasionally fail, the vast majority of the time when one malfunctions, it is a sender or wiring/connection problem.
