I have removed cluster from dash and gauge shows full When I move indicator to empty and reinstall it goes to full again. When unit is left setting the gauge moves to 1//4.
The sending unit in the tank provides a ground to the gauge depending on the float level. The gauge can "rest" anywhere if the power and ground circuits are not connected.
You would need to know if the gauge has power and is getting a ground signal from the tank.

I had the same problem. My battery was going bad. When I replaced it with a new one, the fuel gauge worked fine.

Hi the gas gauge is erractic
you need to replace the fuel level sensor
SOURCE: Instrument cluster not showing odometer and
It could be the voltage regulator for your instrument cluster is the problem.

the fuel level sensor in the gas tank needs to be replaced easy way is a new fuel pump assembly
SOURCE: 1995 Honda Civic fuel gauge always shows full.
Well, theres a sending unit/float in the tank that sends a signal thru
wires to your instrument cluster's fuel gauge. You should have an auto
electric repairperson determine where your problem lies. It's not often
the needle's just 'stuck' to where you could dislodge it. More often,
it's pegged overfull or underempty-signaling a shorted component
upstream of the gauge.
Similar problem and found the solution:
In the back of the gauge, where the 2 coils are located, there are very
tiny copper wires which connect all the resistors/diodes. they each
travel from within the coil and are soldered to 3 out of the 4 mounting
pins. if any of these wires are shorting out or disconnected, the gauge
will malfunction.
- take the gauge and flip upside down
- temp gauge has 1 resistor (blue) and 1 diode (copper)
- fuel gauge has 2 resistors, no diodes
- 1 wire should be attached to bottom mounting pin (letter E for EMPTY)
- 1 wire should be attached to pin holding both resistors (half tank)
- 1 wire should be attached to the stand-alone ground pin (no mounting bracket)
Hope that helps!
