anyone take out their instrument cluster???
I took my instrument cluster, worked on the car and 2 weeks later put it back in. The question I wanted to know was, does it matter which way the harness is plugged in? I had mine out for so long, I forgot which way they plugged in....on top of that, I need to know if there is a way to calibrate the gauges?? My oil gauge is off, everything else could be too, but I can't start the car just yet
Any suggestions??

Did you move the needles around (remove them, or just twist them around)? If not, I don't see why you would have to make any adjustments. Maybe the reading is wrong because the harness was connected improperly?
I have a spare oil pressure gauge if you find that yours is hosed (though I doubt it is). Here's why:

There are 2 connectors that have 6 pins (1 side) 6 pins the other....they are shaped the same on both sides, so you could potentially flip it around the wrong side
I took the needle out because I didn't like the red, I sanded down the red and will be changing the bulbs out. When I put the keys in yesterday, and click to Ign II, the oil needle shot up to above the halfway point, I am wondering if I need to start the car up...not sure
