Ok I got some rev. indiglo gauges and I got them in and everything works fine except for my gas gauge. It goes all the way up past the F (Full) marker and won't go down. I filled my tank up right after installing them and I have drove like 130 mi. since then, it should have gone down by now. Do you know what I can do to get it working again or what the problem might be. ThanksJosh

this is an easy fix... your gas gauge is getting stuck on the face of the reverse indiglow...

All you have ot do it take it out again.. put on some little drops of super glue on the OE face and then put the reverse back on... make sure you press the reverse down so it stays flat and do not have any bulge..

I had the same problem with my temp gauge... I did that and now it's fixed... make sure your needle can move freely and then bolt everything back up...

hope this helped! don't worry it's just time cuz you will have to take everything apart again...

Ok it isn't working, as soon as I start the car, the gas gauge automatically goes all the way up as far as it will go and that is way past the full dash. It doesn't stop at how much ever gas I have on the meter. I don't know what to do. Please help.Josh

ok...do this.... take the reverse gauge off and see if the gauge works that way... something might have gone wrong somewhere... and just take it step by step and try to find the mistake...

Already tried that and it didn't do anything differently. I don't know. Let me know if you can think of anything else.Josh

do you think youbroke something?? maybe while putting the gauge on, a wire got dissconnected or something? double check everything.. and I man double, tripple check EVERYTHING... and take your time looking at things... someitmes you get too hasty and over looks omething right in front of you.. I know I do that all the time..
