I recently saw a similar problem on a truck - the sender connector wasn't seated properly, so the gauge sat full scale (past "full".) If this is your problem, it's possible the needle is sticking at the full scale position, and if you stop the full scale problem, you may not have a sticking problem.

I suggest you start by removing and inspecting the sender.

Good luck,

Scott
