You probably have a corroded pin on the small white bulkhead connector with the light green/blue wire.

Hmm ok, it was working fine before I did the cleaning. I also sanded the connector when I had the binnacle out

Sometimes the needle can just get stuck. I think it is caused by the electrical transient when you turn the ignition key. I have a short piece of fine solder that I keep in the change tray just for this purpose. I bend a slight L-shape into the end of the solder, and with the ignition key on, I snake the solder in through the trip reset shaft hole and gently nudge the temperature needle. This unsticks it every time.
