Take wire at sending unit and unplug to see if dash gauge moves either to full or empty ....
take wire and ground it and it should move either to full or empty ....in most cases if gauge on dash doesn`t move in ether direction while doing this the gauge on dash is faulty ........key might need to be on on some models ......
