so recently i installed a NR EL gauge cluster in my 02 accord. all the needles were working fine after installation. after a few mins of driving i noticed that my tach was a lil off and my speedo was a lil off so in the midst of adjusting the tacho needle now when i rev the engine the needle goes the wrong way. Anyone know what this problem is and how would i go about fixing it???

 

undo whateevr u did?

 

x2. . PM me if you have questions... I might be able to help if reversing it doesn't help.

 

all i did was install the faces that go over the original factory faces.... i had to take the needles out to put the faces on then put the needle back in....no matter how many different times i take the needle out and readjust it, it stills seems to idle up but when i rev the engine it revs the opposite way.

 

isnt there a stud that prevents the needle from going below zero?.. everytime you rev does it hit that stud?

 

yes there is the stud blocking it from zero but i test it out by setting it at 1000 rpms and i have to rev it pretty high for the tach to even move and when it does move it moves in reverse.

 

Sounds like you broke something ?? From my experience I have never had that problem when swapping the face plate. Good luck ..

Roanoke is my home town .. BIG OL NOKE !!

 

hmm, video?

 

if i did break something where would i be able to get that fixed at? would i need a new cluster??

 

yeah I would just buy a new cluster . should get them for 50 bux in roanoke . If you cant get them any cheaper give me a holla.. My step dad is a big parts director up there. I get **** at cost all the time. Only factory parts.

 

maybe the needle is loose now? I dont see why it would go backwards.. weird

 

so if i buy a new cluster how will the work with the current mileage i have on my car?? couldnt i just change the tacho instead of the whole cluster. if thats possible or not. fastazzf22 hit me up on aim if you dont mind AIM:kmfdmww3
thanks everyone for trying to help been reading a lot on the boards but never posted anything.

 

bump

 

new cluster + take it apart and replace the tach

most likely you messed up the tach itself.

 

ya thats what i'm going to do. thanks everyone i will post results in a few days with pics
