okay, I have taken to conclusion that its the sender wire shorting to the ground based on the fact when I unplugged the whole sender, it went all the way to 3 oclock position and when I plugged it back in it went to empty again . I also took off the panel and pushed the needle around, but it still falls back to empty. if it is shorted, how do I fix it? I looked over all the wires coming from the sender and they all seem ok, my ground wire is tight against the frame. what should I look for?
