Any ideas?

You're making an assumption that many people make.. Here's the facts as they pertain to physics.. The gauges only receive power when the ignition switch is ON.. Turned OFF, no power is applied to the gauges, gravity takes over.. The needle will settle into a "position of it's choice".. What the gauge does after the voltage is removed (ignition switch is OFF) is of no consequence, and certainly does not indicate a problem.
