i broke my gas and temp gauges a while ago and i got new ones and put them in. everything has been ok except that the temp gauge didnt work. i didnt do anything for a while cuz i really didnt wanna take the whole gauge cluster out again, but today i did it. i made sure that the 3 screws that hold it in were as tight as possible (i think they also give it power) and i made sure the the white-faced gauge was all the way down so that the needle wouldnt get stuck on it. well i did that, put it back in and went for a ride and the temp needle still just sits there.


what could be the problem? its not that important but i just wanna fix it cuz i like every little thing to be perfect.


also, u know the 2 bulbs on top that light up all the gauges at night and the plastic piece thats there? i took a blue sharpie and colored both of them so now when i turn my lights, my gauge faces look blue. just thought id let u know. it looks pretty cool.

but any ideas of why the gauge doesnt work would be helpful. thanks

maybe you busted the arm for the needle or maybe tweaked it a little so that it wont turn, like bending it. can you take pics of it for us to see?

i cant take pics, no digital camera. but i dont think i tweaked it cuz when i took it back out i could move the needle to the top of the gauge and the needle still falls back down on its own. i still cant figure it out
