Damn Indiglos....

[BigLGST]

I jus installed a set of indiglos and the only gauges that work are my speedometer and RPM's, the temp one doesnt move at all and neither does the turbo. The Oil pressure moves but stays up. And the gas well it jus stays where it was at so I cant tell until i drive forevebr and the gas stays the same. Any1 know what could be wrong? And in case I did mess them up, can they be replaced?

I had the same problem. You need to take the guages out, and make the hole where the needle comes throught biggiger. My guage hole was to small and the black base on the needle was sticking to the indiglo hole. It worked for me. Do it soon though before you burn out your guages.

u didnt take of the needles did u?..if so, thats a big no no...

i fawked my oil guage up, and because of that.. i had to order a new one(autometer)...my dumbass bought a mechanical one, and now i've screwed myself, because i do not know where to run my hose.

ur fuel should be fine, itll go down...

for the boost guage, i would order a new one anyhow....for the temp, how long did u run ur car for, too see if it works?.could be stuck.

I had the same problem. Take the cluster back out and put some kind of glue between the original gauge and the indiglo gauge. I chose elmer's because I knew I was eventually going to want to take them out, and this made that possible. Don't take anything apart on the original gauge if you can help it. I also found it helpful to trim parts of the indiglo gauges on the fuel and oil sides, not in a visible place, just between the stoppers for the 'tail' of the needle.

I actually accidentally took my oil gauge completely apart when installing the gauges, however I was able to get it back together without too much difficulty.

Thanks for your ideas and suggestions guys, I probably wont get a chance to work on this until a couple of days, maybe tomorow, but I want to put in my GM MAF and blow through set up tomorow, I know it doesnt take that long, but I want to play with it for a little bit. I will hopefully try your suggestions and pray it fixes the damn gauges!!!
