Temperature display is wrong.

I have had my 1999 ford explorer sport for about a year now and I can't figure out why the temperature overhead display is show the wrong temperature. Could it be the gauge has gone bad? Any ideas can help me.

Could just be a bad sensor. It's on the radiator support, to the left of the headlight assembly behind the grille.

Dumb question, but it's not on Celsius, is it?

It has to be the overhead console then, only 2 things that affect that reading. How did you check the sensor?
