Most likely the sender is shorted.

Unplug the sender, you don't need to take the nuts off. Just pull the spade connectors off, and see what the gauge does.

Easy Fix

Bought a new sender, installed it today. Can be done from the engine bay or through
the wheel well opening (easiest with a hoist). Looks daunting at first, but isn't. Pics follow. Only took 20 minutes including building wrench. Gauge works as it should now.,
