does anyone know what i can do to get the needle to move in the correct range again? i recently took out my gauge cluster and moved the needle to the bottom tick mark where it should be and then put it back together and put it back in the car and the needle stayed to where it should be until i connected the battery and turned on the ignition on and then it moved back to the bottom right corner, the needle still moves correctly according to coolant temps (moves left as engine warms up) so all temp sensors are working fine and the needle is able to move it’s just moving outside of the correct range. does anyone have any ideas of what i could do to get it to move back in it’s correct range?
