A month or so ago, I broke a lot of the bulbs out of my gauge cluster so that all the stupid lights won't come on (ABS, Security, Check Gauges, Airbag, etc.). I thought that the magnets for the needles would automatically reset their position, so I didn't care too much where they were....that's not the case. I'm wondering where the needles sit when the car is cold at rest. A picture would be worth a thousand words. I believe a 99+ car should work (LS1 Camaro)
Your help would be greatly appreciated This post has been edited by Teutonic Speedracer: Mar 25 2007, 06:18 PM |

This is after sitting all night, key off, 99 LS1. I believe the oil pressure gauge was in that position at the time of shutoff. If you turn on the key, it goes to zero. This post has been edited by Mojave: Mar 25 2007, 07:12 PM |

That helped (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) , I think I got it. I always remember my oil pressure shutting off at about idle psi (41-42). I think the tach, oil, speedo, and battery are pretty good now. Just have to figure out how much gas is in the tank (not much for the winter...and some STA-BIL.) |
