Gauges--needle position at rest?
Hi everyone,
1982 manual...putting my interior back in and have a curious issue. I replaced all of the bulbs in my cluster while it was out, and polished the plexiglass. I was very careful not to touch the gauge faces while they were exposed, but maybe I wasn't careful enough.
I reinstalled the cluster and pod, reattached the wiring (thank you Dwayne), and decided to check out the cluster before putting the console back in.
My speedometer and tach needles are both at roughly the 6 o'clock position now. I did start the car and the tach needle moved up, but couldn't test the speedometer in the current state of disassembly.
Question--did I screw something up? And more importantly, can I fix it?
THANK YOU. BTW, the fuel efficiency needle was broken by PO.
