I was installing a set of indiglos and the needles accidently popped off both the oil pressure and the turbo gauge. I put them back on but neither of them work right. Anyone know how to make them work right again?

i had the same thing happened to my fuel gauge and i had to buy a new one.. however u should check if the needle is not rubbing on the indiglo face cause that usually happens when u install gauges..... wish i could be of more help dude but i couldnot figure what was wrong with the fuel gauge tried several times to figure out but could not do it so i bought a new one and since then no prob...

The needles aren't rubbing on the gauge faces, they do move but the readings are off. This could easily be fixed if I knew where the original positions of the needles were but thats the problem

Take off the needles and reapply them when they are in the normal range. My mph needle popped off and i just drove down the street and had my gf's bro clock my speed and put it back on. My fuel guage also got caught on the guage wires and I had to readjust that when my e light was on. You should be able to just move the needles if you know where they are supposed to be. hope that helps.

this is what i did whn my gas needle came off. i wen tto the gas station and filled up to the max! and then went home and waited for like 5 minutes with the car on. then i pullet the needle off and put it back on pointing just a little above the full line and with the coolant temp needle you could do the same thing. after driving for like 10 minutes stop and leave the car on and pull the needle off an replace it with the needle at 1/2 way where it should be. lates james

Dude, no worries, just pop the needles off again and place them on with the car running where they normaly would be. i had to take them all off for my blackcat custom gauges. i had the same problems. i had to drive side by side with my wife yelling out what her speed was just so i could get my speedo needle in the right place.
