You *could* check before you do all the other work..put ten volts on
it from the panel supply.  Ground is the little pin, +10 is whichever
of the others (left one IIRC) makes the light blink for a few
seconds.  It's possible that they both will, actually.

If that goes out the way it should, then you've got either bad
controller or an open in the wiring somewhere and you can absolve the
gauge from blame.

Yours,
