Temp Gauge and loose spring 200

Hi all

I am trying to get my temp gauge working on my 1988 240 DL sedan. I removed the instrument cluster and cleaned the connections on the comp board. On the engine block I tried grounding the wire connector to the temp sensor but I can't get the gauge to move. When I had the instrument cluster out a small spring fell out. Could this go to the temp gauge and be the reason it does not work? Any ideas? Can I put a temp gauge out of a salvage instrument cluster? If so does it require any soldering ?

Thanks Steve
