Fuel Gauge Pegged

[Daniel P Thomas]

Last year when I filled up
My Starboard gauge pegged it self past the full mark
Since then (just got back in)
It has stayed there

Any suggestions?
Someone suggested crossing the leads for just a second
to reverse it polarity
Worth trying ?
Or do I need a new gauge?

Thanks
Dan

remove the pink wire at the sender, gauge should go to empty. If not, there is a short in the wiring from the gauge to the tank
