Since the sending unit is a variable resistance load from the ground to the
wire going to your gauge, all it takes is for the sending unit to go bad or
the wire to get shorted to ground someplace between the sending unit and
the gauge. You can test your gauge by shorting the wire to the
chassis/engine and the guage should go to full deflection.
