ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    RPM Gauge going crazy

    hey so i was taking apart my gauge cluster out of my take to put led bulbs in there and since i just put a different steering wheel on my SRS light was showing up so i took it apart and got the light out .... put it back together and now when i am drive my car my rpm gauge sits at like 5g and than when i am driving it goes all the way around.... so i took it back out and put the needle back where it belongs, started my car up and the it went right back where it was sitting at like maybe (10grand) if the gauge would go that high ....


    u guys think maybe the needle got moved when i had it apart and wont work anymore and i gotta buy a new one?

    idk i am lost ............

    Are you sure it's your gauge, and not your ignitor?

      Perhaps... I'm not very sure what you're describing, but I have a pretty good picture of everything you did that has nothing to do with this problem...

      If you messed with the needle or gauges, you probably threw something off. Chances are, you'll need a new cluster, as fixing a busted one can be a pain. I'm not really sure what your steering wheel or LED additions have to do with the RPM gauge not working properly... or why you messed with that in the first place.

      Another reason that the RPM gauge could go crazy is a failing ignitor.

        well for the fail ignitor is not the problem b/c it worked 1 min and the next it doesn't ..... but from what u said that if it gets messed with it wont work ... so i guess this week going to the junk yard and pulled a cluster ... meh its only 10 bucks ... but live and learn ty guys

          I don't understand a word you just said, but it seems like you're pretty quick to dismiss the ignitor.
