    Instrument Cluster Problems

    A few days ago I decided to take my cluster out to change some bulbs that weren't working and ended up taking the whole thing apart just to check it out. Bad idea. My fuel and temperature gauges quit working. The temperature doesn't move anywhere, and my fuel raises as I burn gas, without putting more in. It won't drop when I put gas in it. I couldn't figure anything out so I bought another cluster, but the temperature gauge still isn't working right, only this time it jumps up past the H when the engine is cold. I'm not sure about my fuel, it's hard on full, but my tank is full. Everything else works fine.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I noticed there are 4 dials on the top of the circuit board, which from previous electronics experience are used for adjusting resistance in a circuit. I'm assuming there is one for each of the 4 gauges, but I don't want to mess around with them until I know what they are. I'm thinking maybe they can be adjusted to fix my problem but I don't know if that is possible or not.

    If nobody knows what those dials are for, does anyone know where to find schematics for the circuit board in this cluster?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

          If you messed around or took off the needles you most likely messed them up and they dont work. You need a new cluster its not "fixable"

            I didn't take the needles off, just took the gauges out of the cluster. I've tried swapping the fuel/coolant gauges between clusters with no luck. One set stays at the bottom and the others jump to the top about a minute after starting the car. The second cluster is from a 92 US Accord, whereas my car is a 91 CDN Accord. I assume they should be interchangeable but maybe I'm wrong and that's what is causing the problem.

                I over tightened the screws on my original cluster, but I was careful not to on the new ones. I'll have to check those letters to see if they match, maybe thats the problem. Thanks
