The indiglo gauges were installed a month ago in the Celica. I got these gauges from Speedhut. At first the RPM needle was getting stuck at idle and the speedometer needle was getting stuck at 0-10mph. I still have the same problem with the RPM needle. At idle the needle drops below 500 RPMs, which I know that is not accurate. Also, I've noticed that the speedometer needle is getting worst. When I speed up, the needle jumps and stops jumps and stops until I reach the speed that I'm at. On the highway the needle bearly passes 65 mph when I know I'm going much faster than that (about 75-80). When I slow down its the same thing, drops and stops, drops and stops until I reach the speed or I come to a complete stop. Now I'm worried that this might happen to the gas gauge.
My questions are: - Can it get worst, to the point where the needles will not function anymore? - How can I fix this problem? I will appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thank you! |

What i did to my gauges which people may not like the idea but, like coomer, i popped off the black cover at the base of the needle and sanded it down a little bit and used some super glue to make sure the covers stayed on. Make sure you dont overdo the glue though
good luck if it isnt fixed already |
