try pulling your negative lead on the battery off and let the ecu reset.
Your suggestion will work if the spindles are stationary. Lot harder when they are moving. Especially with the cluster out and engine running. (Not sure if the cluster or car will work.) There must be some other way. If the gauges read electric values then it'll be easier to induce the values to place the hands in the proper position. Obviously this work calls for a specialist in this type of work.For the RPM and temp i would just let the car idle till it is warm, then put the rpm needle at ~750 and the temp gauge just goes about halfway considering it doesn't have to be as accurate. For the gas gauge i would go fill up my car then put it above the F line or drive till the gas light comes on and put it just above the E line. The speedo will be harder to calibrate correctly, you could try to turn the car on and just put it at 0mph and try to see if its accurate somehow. Hope this helps.
I figured it out, When I unplug the cluster and plug it back in, and turn the key to start, but not actually start the car, the Needles get reset to Zero for the speed and RPM, and to the bottom on the Heat Temp Graph thingy. so I just popped the Needles off and let it reset and placed the needles on them while they were at zero. And then turned the car off and placed the Fuel needle on at Empty.
I started the car and everything appears to be functioning correctly
Thanks for all the replies.
I will be getting the LED's this weekend. Should be completed by Tuesday
Agreed. Until then, subscribed.Someone needs to sticky this response if anyone manages to screw the needles up with modify something in the cluster.
