Thats where your temperature gauge is meant it be when driving... Unless you mean you did not start the engine and it was half way? Stuck needle in the guage, gentle tap on the dashboard to see if it moves....

If you had as much rain as we did then it could be water causing it to short a bit as when you earth the wire to the sender it goes all the way to the top.
