Was the temp gauge working before replacing the temp sensor? If so why was it replaced?

Yes it was wrkin..I replace it cause the fans wasn't wrkin. .and how I know it was the sensor because once I unplug it my fans would cum on and once plug bk up the fans would wrk for abt 3 mins and cut off

Under the hood locate the main fuse block. Pull the cover off. check those fuses very wheel as this is the only place they (temp & Fuel ) gauge connect with each other, I know yours is the 2003 but in a 1999 model it is a 10 amp fuse & number #37 in block but yours may be another amp fuse & a different place, so check all,

Check every fuse all fuses are gud. ..could it be in my ignition switch. .or I notice the Hazzard light button is bad in my car and need replacing could that be the problem

Fix the hazard light button and see if it does anything. The only information I can find is that those two gauges share a fuse in the fuse block. I would take a know good fuse and go threw the entire fuse blocks both blocks and pull each out and put the know good one in and to the next on and on until all fuses have been confirmed.
