engine temp gauge, out of order
 
I broke it somehow a while back. I jumped the circuit board for the places i had broke, and that didnt fix it.

So i poked the needle. It moved, and stayed there. HMMMM.

Is it supposed to rebound back to zero? if so, maybe this is my problem!!!

Just wondering.. would that be the coolant temp gauge?

Richard Miller 12-23-02 12:52 AM

did the needle fall out and you over pressed it back in?

I dont know what it reads, actually, but on a series three, its in the top right corner of your gauge cluster (sititng in the drivers seat)

I never took it off, but i did play with it (every so gently) when i put the gauge faces in. I'm thinkign i killed it then.

Yeah, those gauge movements are rather delicate, and can be easily damaged. -WG

Yeah it ought to just unbolt out of there..

If not there are people around here, and probally there that can re calibrate a speedo with the right mileage as on yours :)

Tight. Now, anyone selling a gauge cluster???

heheheh

(in case you are, i need a series three, w/ the clear plastic front cover as well.)
