I will double check the circuit. It's strange because it was working fine until I dropped the battery in after charging it and tried to start it. Before I turned the key, I switched on the dome light just to see if I had power. The light came on. After I turned the key to start it it just clicked. Tried the dome light again and nothing. That's when I noticed the gauge was pegged on full. As I mentioned the battery tested bad and has been replaced. Everything is good now except the gauge which baffles me. I'm thinking the problem is somehow related to the battery incident so I guess I need to look beyond that. I appreciate the replies.
