  • Indiglo Gauges Installed, problems now..

    It took my friend and me about 3 hours to install these gauges, it was easy to take apart the dash and hook it up, the hard part for us was finding where the wires went, we used the light switch brown wire, and then the damn needles. They were a pain in the *** to take off and then to put it in the right spot again took a while.
    Well I thought it was all perfect until last night I was test driving the car and I see that the damn temperature gauge doesn't move at all, there is no way a firebird can stay at 160 degrees for 20 mins or so. My dad also drove it later that night and noticed the same problem.
    So this morning I woke up at 7 and worked on it, I took it apart again and tried to take off the needle to reput back on, well the damn gray cover of the needle broke off, so its all lose now and the gauge still doesn't work. I tried turning it all the way around clockwise and counterclockwise thinking maybe it wasn't aligned right, nothing works, the best results I got was for the temperature measure to go up when the car was turned off, other than that nothing. I spetn about 1.5 hours outside and now I am at home whining, lol.
    Anybody know how to set the temperature gauge back to normal? Is there a button to reset it or turn it a certain way?
    Did I brake it by turning it clockwise or something??

    BTW I got those gauges that BATMAN has on the board, they look awesome, except for the part that hte needles are a little too orange, so it clashes a bit. They are bright as **** at night.
