Gauges

I have a lil problem with my gauges in my cavi. I have an aftermarket gauge set that I installed and it worked awesome....But all of a sudden my mileage gauge is real dim and the needles for the temp and the spped will barely move....Anyone else have this problem??? Any tips welcomed...

Did you pull up on the needles or remove them when you installed them?

sounds like it is rubbing where you installed your new ones. like exodus 259 check your needles cause they might be pushed in too far.

Yeah, i have the same problem, i tore the dash apart to fix them a couple times and still no luck, i made them as flat as can be and still having problems, the needles get stuck and dont move, and when they do they jump up by like 5 miles per hour and get stuck again.....i've been driving like this for months, anyone know?

if they are sticking you may be able to VERY carefully sand the needles down a little bit or maybe heat them up a little on the bottom area to make them maliable and then try to bend it up a little away from the face. be careful

Did you replace the entire cluster, or did you just put on the white face gauges?

what gauges did you get? good ones or cheap pieces of crap?
