I had circuit city put in my reverse indiglo gauges. Everything works fine and it looks great. When i went to fill up my tank the needle stays at the 3/4 mark. I have a Lancer ES anyone know how i can get it to go back to the top?

 

mabey put a 1/4 tan worth of gas in???

haha. j/k. I couldnt resist. mabey you have a faulty gauge.... I have no clue on this one.

 

im thinking that they didnt place the overlay all the way flat against the gauge face. u can prolly just tape it down so the needle doesnt rub.

 

To get to the gauages do i need to take the whole dash board off?

 

no you need to only remove the cluster cover and then the cluster itself.
The cover has two screws on the top (pull it out from the bottom)
The cluster is held on by 3 screws (one in the bottom middle and one on each corner on top)
Pull it out slowly and disconnect the wiring harness behind it.
Once you remove the plastic cover and shroud you can access the dials.
DON'T PULL THE NEEDLES OUT!! haha Good luck!

 

it might be like my tach problem. I took the gauges out and when i put them back in, the tach would stick as it went up and it would go to where it should be when I tapped on it. Does it go to the top if you tap on the gauge? if so, just take it off and push the needle down all the way, it might just not be back on all the way.

 

Well seeing we're on the topic of sticking needles and what not, I accidently popped out the speedometer needle, and now it's about +5 mph off from what I'm really traveling at. It does keep me from speeding over the speed limit, but it just bugs me. Can this be fixed or does it have to be replaced or recalibrated?

 

I dont know if this will just screw it up more or not, but try turning the needle up 5 mph with it off, aybe thats all i takes.

 

If you paid for a service rendered and a problem comes up, go back to the retailer to fix it...

 

^+1

 

true dat

 

Im gonna go back there they better fix this ****.

 

i would never have had something like that installed at a circuit city. they have screwed up two stereo installs on my cars, so i just did my research and did it all myself from then on.

so long as you're polite about it they should fix it and compensate you. one time when they screwed up an install i had them do they refunded me all my money for that install.

 

try asking zack from lightrikz. This is more of his specialty i guess.

 

can you post a pic it when you get it fixed
