Temp Gauge..Light

I'm still trying to figure out why my temp gauge doesnt work
..gauge pegs 3/4 of the way when grounding out the wire
..replaced sensor (did not use teflon tape)
HOWEVER
I replaced some dash lights and noticed that when starting the Brake light comes on and there is another light next to it that doesnt come on.

Is this a temp check light that comes on and would that cause my temp gauge not to work. When I check the terminals on the temp gauge both of them are hot? Is this normal?

Thanks

the light is not used in your aplication.
it is for the standard dummy light cluster.
It sounds to me like your guage is crapped out to me.
