Instrument Cluster problems

[Fordfanatic97]

Hello, I am new on here. I have a 2000 Ford Explorer XLS. Neither my temperature gauge nor my RPM gauge work. I checked the thermostat and it is not stuck open or closed. I think i read somewhere the temp sender sensor might not be working however, it looked like there are 2 sensors on my thermostat housing. Which one is for what? I've only had the vehicle for about a month and it is not yet registered so i haven't driven it much but the RPM gauge went up to 3 and back down one time and hasn't worked since. Any help appreciated!

Guage should only have one wire - Red with White stripe; I suppose there could be a separate ground wire - that would be black.

ECU sensor wires are Light Green w Red stripe and Grey with Red stripe.
