Did you buy the new one used or new? If you got it used maybe they were selling it because the gas gauge didn't work? Kind of sleezy but you never know!
Please stop humping my car, owner privilege!

I would take out the green sheet and put it back again and make sure all connections are good.

Did you touch the needles at all when u changed the circuit board.

When I installed white face gauges on my friends mustang, the gas needle was put on too hard and it wouldn't move. If thats the case, fill up and then put the needle on lighter
