The temp sender will give a zero gauge if it falls off.  I can't tell if
"left" is hot or cold in your case -- if hot, then check the wiring to the
coolant level sensor at the expansion tank.  Shorting that connection
should make the system think there is coolant.  If cold, then either the
level-sensor as above or else the blinker circuit in the gauge itself, or
the gauge is not getting enough voltage (needs 9.5-10.5v at the gauge).
