The OP says:
...............My fuel gauge never moves,
even when the ignition is off or battery disconnected.
It always shows 1/3 full.
If it never moves with the power off,.........
Looks like the stepper motor is faulty, with ignition off or battery disconnected it should fall to zero.
When new motors are fitted they sometimes need the needles to be aligned, however if it is stuck in one spot when power is removed and never moves from the 1/3 full no matter what the fuel level is, it looks like the motor is Kaput.
You can go into the test mode, instrument cluster test, to cycle all the instruments, if it stays where it is it is pretty conclusive.
See here for entering test mode, it has to be done exactly as stated:
