Problem with indiglo needles.

I change my gauge to indiglo, but when I finished the needles don't run. I verify again and nothing is touching the needles or getting stuck. I need to calibrate the needles? Only the RPM and the MPH. Pls let me know.

Make sure that the needles are moving freely with your finger, but unplug the cluster first. It should not be rubbing anything. Alot of times the gauge face is loose or not taped on enough. If you didn't remove the needles, then they're probably just getting stuck. You can even try to pull them out slightly, but more than likely the gauges you installed are not taped down enough.

I had a similar problem when I put them on my 01...as it turned out...there is a little retainer type clip underneath the center of the needle that came up...if you look under ther and see a hole as opposed to the lip of the clip then that is probably your problem

you shouldn't use glue to put that on there i don't think. just use some SCOTCH thin double sided tape and it will do u fine. but glue is no good man..
