If car aint running hot, coolant level is fine and you have checked the sendors it could just be the clocks...

Stuff like this is all about working things out methodically. I do electronic engineering for a living and this is the only way to go about electrics. Start at the sensor, for example change it with a know working one (not a new one cos that could be faulty). Then check the wiring back to the fuse box, do you have continuity from the sensor to the box? Then work from there back to the clock and so on so forth.

Once you have ruled everything out then you should find the problem.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
