Default Custom Speedometer Gauge problem

So I get the gauge and it looks nice and everything, but then I have a problem with the installation. So I installed it and it works fine the first time that the cars running, then the needles fall back down to below 0 after I start the car again after leaving it. I tried fixing it a few times and it'll work the first time but goes back down again. By the way it does still work its just they go down below to zero, so it'll show you going at like 20 mhp when your at 40 or like at 1000 rpms when your at 2000. Does anyone know whats wrong/how to fix this?

You just didn't get the needles back in the right spot. You have to pull out the cluster again. Then pull off all the needles. Plug it back in (don't reinstall tho) and starts the car. Then shut it off and unplug the cluster again and reinstall the needles at all the zeros. This should make them read correctly. Just don't turn the neddles when reinstalling them or they will be off. Let me know how it works. I had the same problem the first time I installed my new gauge face too.

Well I ended up fixing them by doing the clockwise/counter clockwise thing in Chadfo's installation and it fixed the problem, but thanks for the reply. I forgot completely about this thread.

Glad to hear you got it right. What design did you get from Chad? I got one from him also.

I actually did not get it from Chad but will be having him remake mine after prom. It ate away at my money =/.


I got a Jordan Jump Man speedometer though, before I knew that Chad made them. I don't like the font on it and I'm not sure if I'm gonna stay with the color scheme so I'm gonna have Chad make me a new one as soon as I have enough money.

He did a simple one for me that says Jeff 'sBox in red and white. I think later I will get another one with my SL username on it. Take care and good luck.
