The problem turned out to be an apparent short in the wiring. I'm not quite
sure where the short was, but found that by attaching 1 wire to either
terminal, and the other, not to the other terminal, but to the flat piece on
the back of the gauge, it worked. I soldered a small wire to the back, on
the flat surface, and ran the wire out the middle hole in the back of the
gauge and everything works fine now.
