tdangle - if the problem is in my gauge/cluster, whats the next step? Purchase a new circuit board for the entire gauge cluster?

So to check the wire, I want to unplug both at the gauge and at the sender and then check its resistance, which should be super high (while disconnected) correct?

Thank you both!

Yes pretty much if you unplug the cluster and the wire to the sending unit and check resistance from that wire to ground it should be very high resistance, infinity actually. if that is OK, then yes you either have a short in your cluster printed circuit board or a bad gauge. Time to remove it and bench test it.
