Default Reverse Indiglo gauges installed! uh oh! No gas gauge!

I know I know.... I should not have done this, But i did, now its too late! So, all my gauges appear to be working correctly, however, my gas gauge is not moving or calibrated at all. When I removed the needle, the whole shaft came out with it. Any suggestions...?

You're most likely going to have to take it in and have it fixed. Whenever I read stories like this, it makes me glad I had someone do it for me.

okay, now all of my gauages work. However, my speedo appears to be off a few mph (approx 5 -10). But my gas gauge when full points to a little over 1/4 tank. Does this help anything? Any way to calibrate and reset everythign to zero, other than disconnecting the battery, i allreasdy did that for about 5 minutes.

Make sure the gauges aren't rubbing up against the needle anywhere and if they are secure them so they don't rub. That happened with mine and once we put a dab of glue down to keep them from rubbing on the needle all was well
