I thought if you touched them together the guage goes to empty. At least that's what mine did.

Default Testing Sender

Touching the wires together and thereby avoiding the resistance created by the sender should send the gauge to full. On typical senders the full position is 33 ohms and empty is 240 ohms. Before you buy any parts I suggest you pull the sender and test it with a multimeter.
