More than likely, it is a ground or power issue. Take your connections apart, clean them with some sand paper or a wire brush, apply some dielectric silicone, and the tighten them back up. See what happens.

What kind of gauge is it? Does it have a sending unit?

That really sounds like either the gauge is bad, (never really seen a pyro GAUGE die) or it is not getting power.

Its an auto meter pro comp series it has two wires from the prob, a red wire a black wire which i guess would be the power wires? and then two wires for the lights.
