Default fuel gauge not working?

so i got a new cluster and i had to take it apart to change the odometer to the right mileage, but when i went to hook the cluster back up my gas meter went beyond full and just stays there without ever going down. even after driving 100 miles it's still above the F. anyone know how to fix this?

What year Civic? The wire/terminal at the back of the gauge assembly going from the dash gas gauge to the sending unit is grounding out.

Check terminal B10 of connector B at the back of the gauge assembly (see diagrams above and below). It may be bent or damaged, causing it to ground out.
