Need to test the green temp sender wire while the cluster is out.
I'll be more than glad to help with specific directions if you need them.
Most will be just ohm testing at the printed circuit plugin.
Temp sensor wire: Take an ohm reading on the green sending unit wire to a good ground. With both ends unplugged (cluster and sending unit) you should get an open/infinite (∞) reading.
Then ground the green wire under the hood and take a reading from the connector to a good ground. You should get a low reading when you do that test. I would hope 5π's or less, just as long as it's not an infinite ∞ reading.
I like tracing and marking the flat wires in the printed circuit just so it's easier to check at the plugin. That way if you end up with an open/infinite ∞ reading, while doing an ohm test through the bulb, you can check each flatwire from the plugin to the bulb.
So do a little testing before you stick the cluster back in.
I'll try to check back often to see how things are going.

And good luck, try to make it a fun learning experience.
