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.

Yeah that does suck but at least you didnt get up to 1000 posts then made a post about it. NOW that would have blown. I made a post about my 1000th post but I had a real question about superglue on int plastic and had the 1000th as a side thing at the bottom of it.

Ok, first of all, your avatar is very gross and should be changed. People are on this site at work, school, or at home with parents lurking....etc....and it could get them in trouble....Another thing....your sig is WAY to long...do you really need all that space between the quotes? BTW, And I thought my sig was long......

Peace
