I was taking off my indiglow gauges, and popped off my gas needle

After tinkering around with it, I thought I had it fixed, but now the gas light comes on at a 1/4 tank left. LOL

Has anyone ever done this and know how to reset it?

Thanks,

Mike

 

try filling up your tank and set the needle to read full. Good luck

 

Still not going to be 100% accurate

 

I did this on my old car a grand prix, and I couldnt fix it, I had to bring it to the dealer to get it recalipered.

 

Here's what you have to do:
Before removing your needles, you need to mark this 'fixed' location by:
a) Turning key to OFF
b) While holding the trip/odo reset button down, turn the key to IGN position & hold the button down for at least 0.8 seconds. (1-2 seconds is perfectly fine - no need to rush).
c) After that, push the button 3 times in the next few seconds (you'll have about 7 seconds to do this).

You will notice that all segments of the trip/odo will be illuminated.

NOW, when you push and hold the button, the needles will move to a fixed (calibration) mode. You can mark this spot, then safely remove the needles. As long as you're in the diagnostics mode, the needles will move to the set location when you hold the button down & return to zero position when you release the button. You can do this over & over until you are comfortable with your markings.

(To leave the diagnostics, you can simply turn the key back to the OFF position).


Now, you can remove the needles by gently prying them off.

To reinstall the needles, simply go back in to the diagnostics using the steps outlined above. Move the needle base to the 'fixed' location by holding the button down and setting the needles to the location you marked. Then, just push the needles in gently.

If you had removed the needles before marking this set location, you're basically screwed.

 

yeah, you should have calibrated them first...

like this:
(i) Place your key in the ignition and hold in the odometer button.
(ii) Turn the key on while holding the button in.
(iii) Release the button and wait one second.
(iv) Press the button three times. The readout should be all 888's. You can now press, hold, and release the button at your leisure and the needles will go to their default calibration setting. You have to record this so you can put the needles back on on the same place. The system will exit calibration mode when you turn the car off.
