Dead Fuel Gauge

I bought a tach dash off a guy on ebay and after I installed it, I have a dead fuel gauge.

I'm not sure if it's the gauge itself, the circuit board or a fuse.

The original gauge worked though it showed way over full when I filled up and was empty at 1/8 of a tank.

I'm not sure what kind of problem I'm looking at . . . .

Suggestions?

Can I check the gauge to see if it's working somehow?

Thanks

If you have a spare sending unit laying around, you can wire it to the gauge, ground the sending unit and move the lever back and forth. The gauge needle should move up and down. (you'll need a battery of course)

Been there...

All the answers should be on this post. Check the Cluster fuse first.
