Default Temp gauge stuck - diagnosis?

Hi,

My temp gauge (73 Trans Am rally gauges) has gotten stuck at around 100 degs.

Doesn't move when I turn the engine off, with cold start, freeway running, or even when I remove the key.

It doesn't move when I disconnect the green wire from the sender.

All other gauges working OK, but I think the dash bulbs are out too. Maybe related...

Is this likely a to be:
a) a faulty sender
b) faulty gauge
c) electrical wiring

Just wanted your expert opinion before I 'deep dive' into dash removal/gauge disassembly. Electrical issues are not my strength!

Thanks
