As some of you have seen, I posted that in an attempt to install my reverse indiglo gauge faces, I messed up all the needles and they went wacko when the car turned on.

Well guess what...

No need to:

Go to the Honda Dealer...

or

Send it into Honda under warranty...

or

Buy a new cluster and fiddle with the milage, etc...


What I did?

1) Turn on car (All needles will move to their "false" position)

Take a look at the needles (again, w/ the car powered on)

Temp needle all the way up? Carefully pull out needle and re-place in its correct position (slightly below halfway for a fully warmed up engine)

same goes for the other needles... the RPM and MPH should be sitting at dead bottom. Pull 'em off and set them in their correct (dead bottom) position)

Just hope you remember how much gas you had (for the gas needle)

Everything is perfect now! No need to spend $500!

It works fine now? Well, glad to see you not spend 500 dollars. You can go to the gas station and fill to full and you wont have to remember where the gas gauge was at.

As far as the needles sticking, thats an easy remedy. Notice how our civics' needles have a little edge sticking out ( in parallel with the needle itself) just gotta file that down because if it slightly rubs against the new gauge faces (which causes the sticking), it can't move.
