It's not going to work without the probe. It is the most important piece of the gauge setup. Where do you think the gauge will get a signal from? It's not going to come from the stock water temp sensor.

yeah you need the probe, then the blue sender wire gets twisted to the top (i wrapped that wire around that top screw) at the top of the probe..
