Did anyone change your gauge faces? This could be as simple as pushing the needle on to far. Does the needle go to zero when the car is not running?

Does the gauge move if you ground the wires at the sender? If not might be a short somewhere in the harness.

Same issue happened to me.

Gauge would go from 1 to 5 for no reason at times.

Replace the sending unit, cheap fix.

He said he replaced it and its still stuck at 5.

does it move at all when the car is off? when did it stop working? I agree with a few posts about saying it could be a needle that needs to be re secured onto the face.
