I know this has been beat to death and I have researched ect. Here is my issue....so my temp gauge was pegged past hot.So, I put a ground wire from the side of the gauge to the cluster to make sure the gauge was grounded and disconnected then wire at the sender and the gauge when back to cold. So this told me the sender was bad even though it was new. Well I ordered a new $40 sender from lectric limited because I read everyone was have good results with these. I put the new sender in and connected wire and the gauge pegged again. However this time when I disconnected the wire the gauge moved back to hot but not cold. The battery doesn't have full juice, could this be part of the issue. At this point I don't know what else to check or do...any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David
