Instrument cluster tachometer needle misaligned

[dferguson08]

Hi all,

I’ve removed my bezel and realigned my tachometer; however, every time I reconnect it to power the needed drops. I’ve tested the cluster. I’ve done about all that I can think to do. Any advice? I’m not finding much help online.

You’re best off taking them apart. Then plugging them in without the plastic lens on.
You can then pull the needle off and put it back on the correct position with the ignition on.

Okay. Thanks. I did that once, but just adjusted the needle position. I didn’t pull it off and put it back on in the new position.

If you push the needle on lightly. You can then swivel it round before you push it all the way on.
