How do you fix a broken gas gauge with a gas light that stays on most of the time even when tank is full?

Sounds like you will have to replace the sending unit that is in the gas tank with the fuel pump. This is the electrical unit that has the float on it. When you fill your tank the float moves and tells your gauge where the level is at.
You could aways hope that maybe the plug is loose at the tank but unless someone messed with it and broke the plug clips in the past that is unlikely. If you have over 100,000 miles and decide to replace it you should go ahead and replace the fuel pump too while your in there to keep from having to do it down the road later on. Hope this helps.

The temp sending unit or gauge is bad, probably the sending unit.

It's an output that is set to on by a momentary input. i.e. a pushbutton turns on a light and the light stays on even when the button is not pressed. The output is 'latched'.

Would the temperature sensor cause the coolant temperature dial to always stay in the middle even with the engine cold and where is it located on a 1996 Mitsubishi Galant?
Unplug the coolant temp sensor and check what the gauge says...If it falls to cold, then the sensor is at fault. If it stays, then the gauge is either faulty or the contact points on the back of the gauges need to be cleaned...

What speed broke light?
There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. What is broken light? As far as I am aware, no speed did, or even can, break light.
How do you fix a broken gas gauge on a 1986 Mazda b2000?
pull the gauge cluster and check to make sure all the wires are hooked up. if not it will probably be the sending unit or even problems with the fuel pump. pull the gauge cluster and check to make sure all the wires are hooked up. if not it will probably be the sending unit or even problems with the fuel pump.
