I replaced my temp sensor in my car because my radiator fan was on constantly and my gauge wasn't reading anything. It worked for little bit but when i drove on the highway my gauge stopped working and my fans started running constantly again. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem? Or is there something causing my temp sensor to go out?

you could have change the wrong one. There are two, one for the computer and another for the guage. See if you can find another..... Also check your fan relay as that could be stuck in the on position....
