SeanyC Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Guys, I bought a nice white gauge kit for my 95 civic EX off Ebay. When I went to install it almost everything went smooth. I had trouble when it was time to get the white face on the Fuel & Temp portion of the cluster. I got the thing on but the only way I could do it was by moving the fuel gauge needle. Now my fuel gauge always goes up to full and stays there. I tried to move it back down manually in hopes that the sending unit would somehow refind the proper fuel level but it still gets pegged over the full mark. Short of getting a new cluster is there anyway to fix this? Any reset procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Bump ^^ Anyone else every had this issue? All suggestions would be welcomed. sounds like you broke it, maybe pulled off the needle to rough. stay away from the ricer gauges, theyre bad on the eyes. i suggest go to a junkyard and get another one or get the oem jdm cluster. they have a white face and lights up amber.

cranny Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 no they have to be set. i hope you remeber how much fuel was in the tank. if you dont , wait for the fuel light to come on , than you know where the needle goes , lol. the cluster must be plugged in , and still have you get to the needles. so remove clear cover , and plug it in. remove the needle again , carefully , pull straight off. than turn key to on position. now push needle on where its supposed to point , either where you remeber the level being , or if you forgot , wait for fuel light to come on and empty , lol. there , fixed.

SeanyC Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks alot for the feedback. This is a 95 so no fuel light but I will guestamate based on the trip counter (Thats how I kow how much fuel I have now). When I installed it I never removed the needle and I guess that where i went wrong. Honestly I did not think you could even take the needles off. Thanks again.

ford guy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I suggest buying orginal gauges, I just bought a heat and fuel gauge str8 from honda. They were only $47 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelkou Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 somewhat like cranny said, but instead of draining your tank, why not just fill it up, more accurate, no guessing. Your gauge can be on e, below e, 1/16 a tank above e, best chance is probably to fill the tank, reset the needle, otherwise, id go get a new cluster from a junkyard and start all over, or just be happy with the stock cluster.
