i need guage help please!
I just installed white face gauge overlay and now only the volt meter works and the tach, oil pressure, and water temp do not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
James

did you plug them back in before you put the cluster back into the right postition? that's all i can think of is they arn't pluged in or the connection is loose or the needle is off i don't know for sure.

um, did you put back the two nuts near the pass seat, cause if they arent in tight and the two connectors on either side of teh cluster arent toching then it wont really work.

Check the brass connections on back of the gauge cluster make sure they didnt pull away from the plastic tic tac. If they did then you can superglue them back on. And did you tighten the two wing nuts on the bottom of the gauge cluster? One is next to the check engine light and the other is next to the fasten seat belt light. My bet is on the brass on the back of the gauge cluster.
