Why is the cooling fan on my Ford Focus always on?

I have a Ford Focus. The cooling fan starts when I open the driver's door and stays running all the time. Also, the temperature gauge stays on zero throughout any journey. Any advice?

This reads like a faulty temperature sensor or a wiring fault between the sensor and the fan.
