Default Water Gauge

I have a 2003 anni and am having a problem with the water gauge in the dash. It goes all the way to the red when I turn it on,the car runs fine and I haven't seen any codes in the dash. I have tried disconnecting the battery and this did not help. Any input would help.

OK Thanks where is the sending unit? I see a small one on the driver side head by the manifold.

Before replacing the engine coolant temperature sensor, check the water temp readout on the D.I.C. display.

If the temperature reading is close to the ambient outdoor temperature, with the engine cold and not running, it is not a bad ECT sensor causing your problem.
