No coolant temp reading

Installed new water pump and motorcraft sensor in the housing . First issue was new thermostat as stuck closed so I thought there was an air pocket and the sensor was not reading. Removed the thermostat and no more air lock, but new sensor still not reading.

Anything to test before I order another one?

Should be able to check the resistance between the pins on the sensor to see if it functioning in spec. Here's some base numbers for reference.

Was the old one working? Throw it back in and see if it helps. Or just plug it in and see if it reads on the guage for troubleshooting....
