Ever since I had my indiglo's installed, my gas gauge doesn't work. It says I have a quarter tank even when I'm full and then just goes to empty.
Should I just take the gauges out or is there something else I can do? They're not a big deal, I'm kind of sick of them anyway. Any suggestions? Did I break the gauge installing the indiglos? |

Ummm. thats an interesting situation there. You may have broken it or its sticking to the guage and not letting it go up past a 1/4 of a tank. Try and take it off and see if it works. IF not then you may have. But sorry for you. Any other ? just ask.

The greenlooks fine to me, you just turn the dimmer down. Also, my gas gauge stuch also, I re-glued the gauges though and it worked.

Same thing happened to my RPM gauge. It would go to 2,000 then jump to 4,000 cause it would get stuck. Did you happen to pull on the needle? I did and all I had to do was push the needle back on track. Take off the plastic covering and press down on the needle then see if the gauge starts to move.

I had the same problems. The trick is you have to make gauge sit firmly on its place using tape,etc. if you guys already using indiglo change needle lights into red its gonna look 10 times better than with the stock yellow ones.

Just wondering.
Can you take out your Stock gauges, and THEN put in your indiglos? or do you have to pur your indiglos over the stock gauges |

You put the indiglos on top of the stock gauges.
I had the same problem with my gas gauge. What I did was move the indiglo panel a little, because it was off center with the gas guage. It's still slightly off center but at least the gas gauge moves now. |
