Is that something that is easily fixed? I have not had my gauges apart (yet) so I am just curious. Mine did the same thing some time ago so I have a mechanical gauge in the engine compartment. Would like to fix that over the winter..

Go to the forsale section and buy another cluster. You can probably get one from $25.00 shipped.

well if all the parts are there, then yes, youc an fix it, but if the parts have dropped out of sight, then no you can not fix it.

But mind that if you have the parts and fix it yourself it may need to be calibrated.
