Amp gauge

Pardon my electrical stupidity here. I have never been any good at electrics. When the key is turned on, engine not running should both post of the amp gauge be hot or just one? I thought both would be.

Should be both.

Electrically, consider an ammeter to be a 2 inch long piece of wire

'cause that is essentially what is inside the gauge

When I check it with the key on, one sides hot the other cold. So common sence tells me the gauge is bad.
