There isn't one.

There is, however, a fusible link (one of the huge wires attached to the starter solenoid) that goes to one side of fuse #1 (which has nothing to do with the gauges), continues to the ignition switch, which sends power to the instrument cluster's internal voltage regulator, which powers the gauges (including temperature), which is then variably-grounded by the temp sensor on the engine.

i got the 3.8 v6 it has 174-plus but it runs strong.i notice that oil is
leaking.the old owner said he had the oil sending unit changed.i think
either the bolts aren't tight or a gasket wasn't put on...
