79943, help w/ indiglo guage installation Posted by hydrata, Dec-30-04 08:18 PM
me and jwoodley installed my indiglo guages, and they only halfway work. first problem is that the thermostat and the fuel guage are stuck in place. second problem is that they're supposed to switch in color between blue and green, but the switch only acts as like an off or on...the brightness adjusts, but we only get one color. any suggestions or thoughts as to where we might have missed something?

The thermostat and fuel gauge are really tight. You have to make sure the new gauge face is sticking as close as possible to the original face. any slack in between the two and the needles won't move. I actually had to get rid of my indiglos because my thermostat needle wouldn't budge, no matter how tight the gauge face was attached. Works fine without the indiglos. function>form in my case. Good luck.

if you took off the needles from the gauges that may be the problem. loosen those up. i had that problem when i did my needle glow kit.

hmm, didn't quite understand what you meant by loosening up the needles???
i worked on them some more today, and i got the temp guage working, but the fuel guage is weird. the fuel guage went up, and kept creeping up slowly until it got to about 3/4 of a tank, so since it went up, i thought it might be working, but now it appears to be stuck at about 3/4 of a tank, so i guess for some reason it just can't go down???
