Ok.....

When I went back outside, the gauge was at 50psi. When I turned the key on, it went down. I took a piece of 18 gauge wire, attached an alligator clip on each end, and put one end on the sending unit post along with the sending unit wire...and the other end on the negative terminal of the battery. When I started the engine, the gauge kept increasing...and was on its way to pegging the gauge.

I'm way confused.

The gauge is a SW Deluxe....SW82305. The sender is SW279B-F.

If anyone has any clues, please let me know. I have already ordered another sending unit, but I would love to know if there's just something else amiss before it gets here.
