i got gauge inserts from americanmuscle.com and installed them and everything went well till i went to turn the car on everything is inaccurate...i removed the needles when i installed the gauges and i thought i put them back correctly but everything is inaccurate but my mph and rpms...anyone know how to fix this...

HMUSN · August 14th, 2007, 04:37 PM

you need to take it apart and re do the needles

tjames · August 14th, 2007, 04:56 PM

i did the exact same thing heres what you do... keep the plastic part of the guage cluster off your gauges so just the needles are showing and there is nothing covering the needles so you can get to them
1. your odometer can be a digital readout from your computer... all you do is hold the Trip reset while you start your car.
2. Toggle through the digital readouts using the trip reset stick untill you get to RPMs(I did these first doesnt really matter the order)
3. Take the tachometer needle off and then put it back on about where the digital readout says(at idol should be about 700 rpms)
4. toggle till you get to mph. Got this one you should have 2 people because the needles are spring loaded and you will have to adjust it to a speed not just to 0.
5. for the fuel needle, the best was is to go fill up the tank and put the needle on F.
6. As for the oil temp and water and battery, i marked them before i took them off so i hope you did cause im not sure what to do with those cause i marked them.

If you have any other questions PM me and i can help you out more if you need it or if your confused. but dont worrk its very easily fixible

tjames · August 15th, 2007, 03:36 AM

so did you get the guages fixed?

006leenstang00 · August 15th, 2007, 09:34 AM

you're not supposed to take the needles off when you put these on! that throws everything off...now u will probably have to get ur speedometer recalibrated! the needle are flexible and u can move them in ways to get them in there w/out taking them off... its a pain in the ass but it works!

WeCircleTheProblem · August 15th, 2007, 12:12 PM

yeah i got them fixed.

and fyi it was easy taking the needles off and it was easy getting it fixed...id rather go through that then break a needle

HMUSN · August 15th, 2007, 12:13 PM
