meister_raul Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi. I just changed the cluster and I had to remove the needles. I managed to adjust every single one of them except the fuel gauge. I filled the tank, put the needle on full but now he doesn't move at all...any sugestions? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra900bhp Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 When I did mine I put it on the empty mark and filled tank to brim and seams to read right for me but not 100% sure of a reset could give it a try and hope it works out for you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 When I fitted my mom's dials I took the fuel sender out of the tank an adjusted the fuel level accordingly. First I put the sender to full and adjusted to full then put the sender to empty and adjusted again. After a couple of adjustments it reads fairly well. If yours I not moving you may have damaged the coil on the meter. You can check the meter by conducting a test in the service manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meister_raul Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hello guys. I unplugged the connector from the tank to see if the needle moves and I moved the the needle in and out till it moved itself. I guess it was jammed.

evinX Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Probably pressed the needle on to hard. Done it a few times over the years myself Editjust saw your last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I didn't know you could press the needles on "too hard" I changed my faces recently and mapper did say rev counter was juddery, as if it was sticking a bit. Do i just need to pull the needle off and on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Does it not need calibrating after removing needles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Does it not need calibrating after removing needles? Putting power to it reloads the spring. Then you put the needles on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've had this recently, pull needle off gauge, brim the tank, turn ignition to position 2, wait a couple of minutes then put needle back carefully (only push it just over half way on) on tank full line. My fuel light now comes on when the needle hits the bottom bar, which i reckon is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meister_raul Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 @Big Mark Yes, on and off, and the tank sensor really helped me, because when the needle was in the right position it would drop off if disconected from the tank. I will will try to be more careful from now long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
