What should the temp guage show cold with the key off?

[jayharrell]

I just got the wiring and dash all put back together after a complete rewire, but my temp guage doesnt' seem to be showing anything. With the key off and at cold the needle isn't even visable. Any ideas??

I havn't let it run hot enough to see if it will even move due to a water pump leak *its always something*. Just not sure if it should be at cold or fall off all together when off and cold.
