Default Factory boost guage repair, how to?

Last time I aksed about the guage movement, so now I claim back the question.
The guage completely dead just now. Anyone can tell how to repair it? Spring broken? or the circuit fail?

Curtp,

Like your dash. Nice leather. Can you please show a pic of the complete dash.

Cheers

LOL - I keep telling everyone that I'm a genius, but nobody ever believes me!

IMO, go with an aftermarket gauge if you haven't done so already. I had a hard time finding a 951 tach in good condition, so when a set of 968 gauges came up, I grabbed them. Since I already had a AEM Tru-Boost, I didn't think I really needed the inaccurate factory gauge at all.

Ljt - thanks. Here's another picture:

Make sure the connectors are plugged in all the way. I had a non functioning guage after removing the cluster and that was it.

These few days, it works again. Headache, I think the signal from DEM to boost guage got problem. SO I may install an aftermarket guage soon.
