I would start by checking the coolant temp sensor. If thats ok the pull the cluster out and check the back for burns, that will indicate the guage is toast.
As for the turn signals, start by checking all the bulbs and if they are good then change the signal switch. I have a extra one if you want it, try it and if fixes the problem then keep it.
Good luck.

The coolant sensor for the dash is a 1 wire sensor, mounted on the intake, driver's side, just behind the a/c compressor (if equipped), unplug the connecter and ground it, the guage should peg, if it does, replace the sensor. As for the turn signals, it could be the switch but did you check the flasher? A new flasher is like 4 bucks, worth a shot.
