i recently installed indiglo gauges, and stupid me, i took off the needles. i was able to recalibrate all the needles except the gas gauge. the needle moves, but it stops at 3/4 and wont go any further. there are no bumps on the gauge, so i have no clue why it wont move. anyone have any ideas?

Mine did this and I didn't even remove the needle. just trash it and buy a new one. Its a lot easier.

trash the whole cluster or just the gas gauge?

Dude, pull the needle off, go fill up yor gas tank, put the needle on @ the top of the guage.

ive done that numerous times, but the needle wont go past 3/4.

You need to lighten the needle then. Just shave some material off it to make it lighter so the motor (which is obviously worn out) can lift it to the F mark.

Or take a phillips screwdriver and go to a salvage yard looking for gauge clusters. You can gank it out in under 10 minutes. :P

the needle doesnt have trouble going up, just down.

is it getting stuck on something? I remember when I took mine out and put it back it did the same thing. There's this plastic clear piece behind the face that it can get stuck on I think.. not the front of the needle that's colored.. the other side of it.. like *-----> the > is the point and the * is the back.. the * can get stuck. Heh hit me up on aim if this is confusing

yeah i think it was hitting that plastic piece. i just realized that today, after i sat there messed with the thing for 20 min or so. well i jsut filled up my tank, so hopefully, it will work now. thanks for the help.

Good luck, ou can take the cluster out, and then there are 4 screws that hold the gas gauge in. I just bought one for $15 shipped to replace mine. Mine just quit I didnt even take the needle off. I know it isnt the indiglos as I tried with and without. the back of it is getting real hot too. I thik the motor just died. I can do a write up next week if you all want.
