Ammeter on discharge
The ammeter is a ridiculously simple device. It is basically a strip of brass "shunt" which also generates a magnetic field with current. The "meter" is simply a metal/ magnetic "piece" suspended in needle ? bushings? and the magnetic field makes it move.
You likely "banged" it so hard when you shorted the fuse box that you "stuck" the needle. First thing I'd do is give the dash a smart "whack" with your hand and see if it comes loose. If not you'll have to pull the cluster
