ohc help

hi all, so i recently installed my ohc which i love but the temp dont read correctly it reads way colder than it is. the temp sensor is hooked up the the blue/yellow and blue/white wire on the connector. the temp semsor also has the blue/yellow and blue/white wire. cant figure it out. i have swapped temp sensors and display units and reran wires to temp sender which is behind front valance, still no change...any suggestions..thanks in advance
