Hiya!
I had exactly the same problem with my '96 CSE. The fan was working overtime although the gauge didnt work at all. Now here's what I did to fix it:
When you stand in front of the engine, there should be a sensor coming out of the right hand side of the cylinder head. There are two wires attached to that sensor, which have a connector at about 30cm length. You can find that connector under the intake manifold. Try to disconnect the connector and clean the contacts using WD40 or something similar.
In my case, the wires were fixed too tight to a battery cable, hence there was an incredible tension on the whole lead, therefore causing contact problems in the sensor (after 157.000 klicks of German AUTOBAHN ;-)) I cleaned the connector (as mentioned above) and pushed the wires back into the sensor itself. That did the trick in the end. Now I have a readout on my temp gauge again and the fan doesnt run all the time. I hope my description helps you.
Regards
Tristan
