If you are certain there is not a short in the wire from the sending unit to the gauge, then you need to change the resistor, or porcelian piecee on the rear of the gauge, you can get them form the vendore for around $10..Randy

The new guage from LMC don't use the resistor. I install one on Sunday and I am having the same problem, I am changing out the printed circuit board next. You might check if you have 12 Volts on the guage.
