fuel gauge not working.

Hi,
I'm haveing trouble with the fuel gauge. It currently reads full, but it is not pinned. I've grounded the gauge with an extra wire, and grounded the sender as well. Any suggestions?

Also, I tried to search for a previous thread, but was unsuccessful.
Thanks,

HI Richard, have you removed the the 12 volt excitation to the circuit to see if the meter goes back to it's zero position.---Keoke
 
Hi Keoke,
No I haven't. That be under the dash and not at the sender, is that correct?
If so, I'll see if that makes a difference.

Hey Richard,

issue. If anyone out there can post the link would be great !
Thanks,
Mike
