ok so i was lookin @ my gauge cluster tring to see how to change the color of the lights. well one thing led to another and of all the needles my speedometer needle is broke!!!!! it wont move i cant tell how fast i am goin. what do i do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!
please help

 

if you get 1000 praying points jesus will fix it for you

 

Hmmm I'd say if it's not obvious that you messed with it, bring it back to the dealer.

 

ohh ****!

did you ever pay attention to the tach when driving to see the association between mph and rpm's I know that right at 3 rpm's is about 70 mph. If that helps any

 

ok i can give good guessitmate on how fast im goin. plus i have a stick so that makes it easier. but i ordered lights for the back of speedo so i could make them blue do u think if i bring it to the dealeer they will say anything about that????

 

o BTW does anybody have a spare guage cluster laying around that i could have

 

SCREEEEEEWED. Try to order a needle from a dealer. You'd better pray you don't have to pay for the whole assembly. Paperclip mounted to where the stocker came off might work...kinda.

 

how much would a whole assembly cost?? and the needle is still whole it just wont move

 

The entire gauge assembly costs a couple hundo. If the needle isn't moving you may (read: probably) have funked something behind the display.

 

Don't know about MITSU, but for a Taurus, it runs about $700...

 

OK.... here's the deal, the same thing happened to me. Long story short I took it back to the dealer, and said it just stopped working for some reason that I didn't know. They had to order a completely new gauge cluster, and then ship my gauge cluster and the new one to California for calibrations. It took them about 4 weeks to get the part and then another week and a half to sent it to Cali. Needless to say I had to drive a rental car around for the time, but that was covered by the dealership. If you have any questions let me know.

 

wonder if ya could have shorted it out or something. Also try pulling the needle up a little at the base you could have pushed it in too far when handeling the assembly on accident and now it is getting stuck. I have after market gauges in my eclipse and this happend to me....the needle was barely touching the gauge face and wouldnt move; it doesnt take much and is worth a shot.
