On gauges like ours, they can develop a kind of "memory". The gauge is so used to sitting in the middle, it would take a spike in the signal to make it move. This is fixable by supplying a full 12v load to the gauge, and it should spike. Hold it there for 15 seconds or so and that should fix it. It's kind of like resetting it.
