Normaly if the gauge is peged to max then something is grounded out and that could be at the gauge it self, Could be the wire from the sender to the gauge. look on the gauge it self some times the post for the ground will have ground signs with the 3 lines over each other ---

Gage Is Good, Ran Sender From Good Side To Bad Side And Gage Works Fine. If I Touch The Sender With A Test Lite It Shows To Be Grounding Out . Even If I Touch The Spade Part Of The Sender
