As you can see from the previous posters, the resistance of the sender affects the gauge reading thusly, the lower the sender resistance the higher the temperature reading. This is demonstrated by grounding the sender wire for a zero resistance to the gauge, and having a full hot reading on the gauge.

Have a look at post 20 in this thread.
