Did I really BLOW 2 new fuel gauges????
Recently I replaced the gauge in my 12v 1955e. But I crossed the wires and by all accounts killed it. So...

I installed a 2nd new gauge this week and did this... Please Comment....

After testing new gauge, sender and wiring, I connected the ground wire from sender to gauge. Next, I connected the 12v source wire, BUT, upside down under my dash with my glasses slipping, I put the 12v wire on the SAME post for sender. (Note: no wire on the 12v post, 2 on the ground post!) Not knowing that, I turned the key to see if the needle moved. Nope. I quickly turned off the key and put the 12v wire on the proper post.
My gauge stays at 3/4.
Did I kill gauge number 2?
Any ideas?
