Cluster rpm

I took the plastic cover off my Cluster and my little girl moved the rpm needle.

I put it back to 0 but now every time i plug it back in the rpm needle goes way past 0.

I have plugged it in without the plastic, started it and use my finger to put it to 0.

When I start the car it's fine but as soon as shut the engine off it goes way past the 0 again.

Any help?

I have no idea but for sure you will need to re-calibration to make it right. I was about to change the face of cluster but then I find out that if I remove the needles, I'd have to re-caliber those. So I hold on replace the face till I find out how to do re caliber that

It works.

So if ever you guys encounter something similar. When u accidentally move the rpm needle. Just turn it counter clockwise.

It's a long story but was trying to clean and do some other stuff before I put it in the car. I have an 08 and this was the colored cluster.

Great! Glad it's all good now. Now we know what to do if we need to re caliber the needle. It will also works on other needles? Don't think it will works on mph?
