3 o'clock means you have an open circuit, like a broken wire, unplugged, etc. 9 o'clock means it's grounded somewhere.

yeah i did the trouble shooting steps that i found on you tube from lmc, where you test the gauge using a battery and leads. the gauge and sending unit work normal when i have them hooked up with leads to a 12v battery. That was my last thought maybe a broken wire. looks like the wire is pink/red from the sending unit. trying to follow it back but cant find out where it goes into the cab.
