Re: Help on installing indigo gauges

I thought I did after a cop said I was speeding 15km more then my speedometer said I was.
I checked before and after photos and if there was any difference it was very minimal only about 2km/h. Plus I double checked with a gps and i was only off about 5km so that would be more in just a speedo with 250k on it plus a gps which isn't really designed to be accurate within the km.
So cop is a effin tool

just FYI, GPS's can't account for hills, etc, so that can throw the speed reading out quite a bit! There's a real steep hill near my house & my GPS says I average about 15km/h up & down it, when I'm going 60km/h haha

Yah I figured as much.. when I was going down hills it would jump up about 15km.. I was like huh must be the hill.. so definitely the cop fails at life and was just lying. Average flat straight it would be off by about 4-5km/h so nothing out of the ordinary.

hey. cluster went pop, every gauge stopped working and nothing lights up. back of it has a huge black burn spot on it. so i went and ripped the cluster out of my parts car. :welder: same car. both 94 gs's. BUT this is where im stuck.. the gas in the parts car was just over half a tank... and i got justtttttt over a 1/4 tank in my car.. will it go down to 1/4 tank on the gauge or stay at just over half? ive tried to manually move the needle down but it just raises back up. :shrug: thanks!!









EDIT! Whats the fastest you have got a entire cluster out of the dash. i broke my record yesterday. just under 5 minutes. (i wasnt worried about breaking anything tho, but ended up not breaking a thing) :welder:

It should sort itself out.

Either way, the fuel light is on a different float than the fuel level, so that should still work fine :P
