2000 Excursion V10 temp guage

My Excursion came back from the shop having the CHT (head temp) sensor replaced and now the coolant gauge doesn't work. I changed the sensor, checked the voltage (11 plus) to the sensor and applied a jumper where the gauge reads full hot. Nothing. Still reads full cold when plugged to the sensor.
Any ideas what the volts should be? Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
John

I replaced mine with a crappy AutoZone sensor and it didn't work my temp gauge wouldn't move so I popped the old back on and that did the trick, reason why I was changing it is because my truck was having a rough start with intermittent stalling right after start up, so I replace both sensors the one for the heads and the one for the temp gauge , but like I said it didn't work, so I put the old back on and it started working again I hope this helps maybe you need to get a temp sensor straight from FORD... And by the way I don't know if the problem is fixed yet I will driving the truck this whole week and see what happens...
