Then if this is true, connect the sending unit wire to the gauge and disconnect at the sender. If you don't get a full reading after that, the sending unit wire is shorting. | | |

Take the sending unit out & hook the wires to it . Move it through it,s travel & watch the gauge.

One probe on terminal, the other to the flange, as you move it from bottom to top it should go from zero to 30 OHMS resistance. Your gauge will not read correctly unless you use a 30 OHM. sender.
