Sounds like the sender wire on the back of the gauge is touching one of the other posts, either the + or - . I've done the same thing before.

I had the same problem with mine, after buying 2 add. guages (dumb move) I realized my sending unit was bad. With that being said I have 2 trans guages for sale for 50 shipped picture below

Check the wire to make sure there isnt any cuts in the cover. Prolly around the firewall or wherever you routed the wire out. My gauge pegged after i installed it and it ended up being a bad spot in the wire and was touching the firewall.
