Go Fast Civic

I just bought an Ex guage cluster to put in my Dx and the water temp and the fuel guage seem broke the fuel guage floats all the way to the top to Full and the water temp is reading high. It has those white faces installed, and I didnt kno if when the faces were installed that the guages might have broke. I was just wondering if there was a fix for the problem. Thanks

calibration or possibly you have some "charges" that are sending them haywire.

i dont think its really either because i talked to a few ppl and they say if they get bumped ex. installing faces, then they might mess up i just want to know if you can fix them

probably took the needles off and put them back on wrong. You have to be extremely careful when removing needles ... and remember the state of the fuel and temp of the motor when doing so to put them back right, if you put them back at 0 they will float high. there is a routine to reset ... check in a service manual, don't let them float high, it could ruin gauges

you dont have to remove the needles to put the faces in they just slide right in....i called the guy i bought it off of an he told me that he never took them off....if you could figure out how to reset them id really appreciate it! i dont have a service man btw : /

anyone else think they could help out any ? i paid for this i just dont want to put it in and guess all the time how much gas i got

yea, i think that's a busted EX cluster.

if u said there's white faces installed, the person doing it must have messed it up during the install.

right it might be broke but is there a way to fix it?

i just warmed up my car, carefully pulled off the temp gauge needle, and placed it at the proper place to reset my busted needle that came on my lx cluster

Go Fast Civic

what about the fuel guage it goes clear to the top not just a little bit up ?
how hard is it to get off the needle

how much are you askin for it ?

Go Fast Civic

what are you asking for your guage cluster

If it was me and it was such an issue I wld take it to a shop and get an estimate to get it calibrated correctly or just buy another one.

I did the same thing with my dx. I put neon covers over mine about three years ago and decided to change them this year and when i put the new ones on it messed up my cooling gauge. Go to honda pay 118.00 and get the new gauge.
