So you've checked the wiring between the cluster and the sender?

unplug the fuel sender and see if the fuel hand drops. you can also tap the fuel gauge wire to ground and watch it dance.

If it moves around then the gauge is good and the sender is bad...if the gauge doesnt move, the stepper motor inside the cluster is fubar, or the wiring between the two. these are listed in order of likelyhood.

Senders are like 7 bucks at pick n pull.
