i attempted to install aftermarket gauges today, and when i tried to see if theyd work, the mph and oil temps were completly off....it starts out a 40mph when im not moving soo....now how much would it be to fix and where can i get it fixed?? is that something i should go to the toyota dealership for or can a local autorepair do it for me ?

did you take the needle of or anything while you had the gauges out of the dash?

it sounds like you took the needles off, i hear its a pain getting them right again, you can do it yourself i think though.

ya i had to take the mph one off, and its screwy, i left the rpm on and it works fine....do u know any site that would help me fix it? i cant find any

idk if it would work or not, turn the thing that holds the needle until it lines up so you can put the needle on and its still at zero mph, thats about all i can think of.

ok i think i got it now...my dad said all i would have to do is take the needle out, turn the car on, and then place the needle back at the 0mph marker...ill update you on weather or not it is a success

yea i got the same problem man....i took all my needels off i just remembered where each one were...i had to take the whole cluster back apart again caus my temp, and mph was off...the temp i fixed but the mph is still messed up because the custom white part of the gauge stick out and rubs the needel..so i'll start out at like 10 and jump on it and it wont catch up tilll hit about 40...i heard the only way to fix it was to get someone to drive next to you and try n keep it steady ask the person what speed your goin n then set the needel at that...good luck though man...im still too laxy to do this so my mph is still messed up...o0 well
