Default Gauges not working

My fuel and temp gauges aren't working I swapped out temp sensor and it didn't change and then I swapped out my cluster and it'll move all the way over to hot when I start the key. I've checked all my ground points and they're clean...... help please

I do not at this time have access to a wiring diagram for the instrument cluster of your vehicle, however, what we can try is to remove one wire at the temp or fuel gauge and see what you get.It should go to either empty/cold or full/hot. Then we know if there is a break in the wiring, this is the result you get. If you get no change there can be a problem with the replacement cluster. It could also be a problem with one of the gauges that supplies the proper voltage for the two gauges involved.
