Default Repairing the fuel/water temp side of SI cluster?

I finally got myself a cluster with a tach for my 99 dx hatch. the only problem is that the fuel/water temp needles are stuck. the guy that had it before me messed with the cluster to get the SI to illuminate brighter and he messed it up when he put the needles back on. anyone have any writeups on how to fix this, or am i better off looking for another cluster??

you can replace those guages without replacing the whole cluster. Make sure that all the screws are inplace and tight for the fuel and temp guage. all four need to be in.

No wait, sell me you cluster. I'll give you 50 shipped for it.

IIRC, a new temp/fuel Si gauge is about $3x.xx from the dealership.

Again, make sure all four screws are in installed on the gauges. My temp gauge wasn't working when I bought my Si cluster. I was going to swap it out for a known working guage and I noticed that the fuel gauge only had one screw in it. I put another one in it and it works. I believe they are grounded on the circuit board and need to be installed.
