Are you sure it's the sensor & not just the thermostat stuck open.

If you take the thermostat housing off and you see a nice steady flow of water through (when the engine is cold, not even I am crazy enough to take the housing off a warm engine  ), the stat is probably broken. If you then take the stat out and are able to look right through it, it IS broken. Mine was like this 
I recommend you to change the 'stat as it costs next to no money and will do wonders with your engine if that was the fault.

My temp gauge was permantely in the blue when I bought the car.
I didn't stop to think that the instrument panel may have a fault, I just bought a new sender & that fixed the problem
