Okay, so what you know is that you have MORE THAN 15 psi and your 
meter is pinned.

Okay, no problem there.

Yes, probably rusted in place. You might be able to free them up by 
removing the plastic tip covers and then tapping the tips with something 
heavy enough to move them but not so heavy that it can bend/break them. If 
you can get them to move around, then they may actually run, and running 
may move them enough that they will eventually free up and run properly.

If they are badly rusted inside, however, they may leak and this won't ever go 
away until you replace them.
