i'm new to this forum and i'm wondering if someone can help. i just installed indiglo gauges on my 02 civic and i'm having a problem with the gas needle. it doesn't seem to have a stop anymore. i pulled the gauges and set the needle at the normal point when the car is off and started it and it seemed to be fine until i cut it off and it dropped past the stop i set it at. the next time it went didn't go as far up when i started it and went further down. what can i do to fix it or is it shot to **** now? thanks for your help

seems to me as its busted. just take the indilgo gauges off, put the cluster back, go to your dealer and play dumb.

but all i would really need is to create a stop point like what is used for the tach and speedometer right? i can do this without it even being noticeable i believe and without much effort other than pulling the plastic trim and cover.

You can definitely try that, but the thing is, the internals might be messed up. You might wanna take off the clear plastic, have the gauge cluster hooked up and use your finger as a stopping point. Try starting and killing the engine a few times to see if it would work. If it does, then glue a needle or something as a stop point, else do what sg2kca said. Good luck.

that's exactly what i was going to do. i played with it some the yesterday and it held the first time i set it but without the stop it continued to fall each time. i think this will work but i'll just fill the tank so i have a reference point and try it later this week. thanks.

Hey how about filling your gas tank up and then rotate your gas guage so the needle will move up to F or Full. I never noticed that there was a stop on the gas gauge and the temp guage,but I did notice it on the speedometer and Tachometer. Guess I'll check that next time I go to the car. Hope this Helps.

my car had the same problem when i had reverse indiglos on! when i took it to the dealer, they blamed it on the indiglo, and said it won't go under warranty...but a month later, with the indeglo off, they said they would be glad to fix and replace it for me...so i got my self a brand new guages and a big fat ZERO on my oddometer! hope it helps...

zero? i doubt that. the guage cluster doesnt keep track of your milage. Your computer does.
