Remove the sensor from the radiator. Careful, it screws in and the wire is brittle. Clean the connections and try again. These coolant sensors are notoriously fickle at this stage in the game

sorry but the water temp gauge's sensor is located in the block, below the oil filter. the sensor on top of the radiator is only for coolant level.
