Probably the sender unit. Does the needle not move at all? If it doesn't, dsconnect the wire from the sender and earth it to the engine, switch the ignition on, if the needle moves then the sender is duff, if it doesn't move, its going to be something else, probably wiring.
Out of interest, no other gauges etc have stopped have they, as it could just be a fuse.

Its your sender that is at fault then, the wiring will be ok.

Then I doubt it will be a fuse. Try the above test, it will tell you if the fault is with the sender or a wiring fault.
