How does the resistance of a gas gauge change?
The fuel float contacts run on a potentiometer, or variable resistor, whose resistance changes depending on float level, effecting a change in output voltage. Some systems are wired so that high fuel level contacts the low-resistance section, gradually increasing resistance as fuel level drops.

Make sure the pins are straight and that the connector is fully seated.
How is the gas gauge in the instrument cluster?
The gas gauge in the instrument cluster is the visual indication of activity in the fuel tank and sending unit. Some gas gauges are directly controlled by voltage feedback from the sending unit, while others are controlled by the instrument cluster, which itself gets voltage information from the sending unit.
