gauge needle help

[darryl]

I took the needle off my gauges and now my gauges dont seem to work properly and was wonerdering if their is away to set them on where they will work or if i got to get some new gauges. I have 1993.

Sounds like you've reinstalled them incorrectly, or you bumped the needle somehow.
The only way to get them to "zero" is to remove them, then install your cluster, start the car, then shut it off and install the needles so they're resting at zero. Make sure the engine is cold too.

The only issue would be with the fuel tank - unless your tank is empty.

If you took the needles off of the gas and temperature gauges theres a chance the stem the needle mounts to broke. It happened to me(93 as well) when I painted my gauge surround and the only fix I came up with was going to the junk yard and burning the needles off of the gauges than re-mounting my old needles after I took the stem piece out of the needle. Hope this helps.
