haha.. best bet is to go to a auto meter dealer, and ask them for advise.. chances are, they'll give you a new one, and send that back.. i dunno.. worth a shot.

LOL, that's good stuff. Same autometer gauge took a dump on me over the weekend. Actually my new one will be here today, so you're not the only one

Can you just remove the cover and reposition the needle on the spindel?

I would still call before doing any opening of the part, but if they don't cover why not just try... what is it going to hurt?

Don’t start this bashing ****!
Autometer makes great stuff for the price and I am sure they will replace your gauge if you have a receipt for it. They will proly replace it even if you don’t have a receipt!

You can reposition the needle easily, I've done it. Mine started to read 1-2psi when the car was off, so I just opened it up and repositioned it. Not very hard to do, just be careful with the bezel ring.

Yeah, autometer will definately replace that... it's obviously not something that you did!

They are really good about backing their products!

yeah, they should replace that no problem. I had the electronic fuel pressure gauge that cost $200 and they replaced it no problem...

I worked just fine then all of sudden got stuck at 100psi!

haha, nothing. I didnt' even drop it or anything, I was taking it out of my car and it just did that. I bought it years ago from summit, but I'm going to either call up or email autometer, and if they wont do ****, I'll try opening it up and putting it back on.

My gauge did it too in an accident, popped right off. Ended up giving it to a friend and he actually opened it up and fixed it himself, works like a charm.. go figure
