Good thing I realized what you said about putting them below and let them calibrate every time the vehicle starts up so maybe that’s why it took a little bit for it to climb up and I kind of googled pictures of everyone else’s gages when the vehicles were shut off and knew I had to go a little bit below zero and below empty Thanks it We’ll see me taking it apart again for the hundredth time
Geez man, I should’ve watched this first. I figured this out on my own today after scratching my head. I had a fuel gauge that was being a pain in the butt and only reading up to 3/4 of a tank one fall and it would stop it a quarter of a tank. I found a spot on motherboard that needed to be resoldered and fixed the issue. I took that darn plastic clear cover off to three times until I finally got my fuel gauge to go to empty one shut off in up past fall. It was being a pain in the butt and only going to a few times so I don’t know what the deal was, but it seems to be working now just fine. Knock on wood. The last couple of times it went to 3/4 of the way, and then after running for 15 seconds it climbed up to full. Seems to go to full or just a hair over now, which is just fine with me and goes right down to empty when I shut off my truck.
I took my cluster apart and my rpm guage stopped working. I took motor apart and tried other motors and it works to sweep the guage but when I start the truck it oesnt move or sometimes moves in reverse. Any help?
I performed a gauge sweep hoping to reset my temp needle. The needle points straight down now, hitting the oil needle. Can I pull the instrument cluster and manually reset the temp needle like you did with the speedometer? Thanks.
I remember the good old days of older vehicles, having to use a speedometer cable to measure your speed, and how the needles on the cluster would flutter up & down. On my father’s 1987 GMC Suburban, the speedometer cable broke, and I had to re-install a new one. A real chore.
Maybe I messed up, but this didn’t work for me on my ‘04 F150. Most of the gauges were way off. To reset: with the trick off, press and hold the little reset pin on the cluster while you turn the key to the “run” position. Release after the gauge cluster reads “TEST”. The needles will sweep and reset themselves.
I pulled my temp Niddle off and was working just went to hot I put my njddle Back on know it won't move do I need to pull Nicole all the way over and back to 0 any help would be thankful
Any idea if this would work on a Mazda close to that year of Ford? I have a 06 mazda 3 and I recently replaced the needles but they are way off and when they move, its very ridged and not smooth whatsoever. You reckon this method would work?
Many thanks your information was right on target. I marked tape put the needles on in the exact same location I started the car the needles moved way out of position I was able to fix it using your method thanks for sharing. Replaced lightbulb on odometer 2000 Pontiac Sunfire with only 24,000 miles. 😳
Is it the same when it comes to the MPH cause when I go top speed it says 102mph but in reality it reads like 97 and even if I drive in highway I go 75 on the cluster but I’m going 78moh on a speed app
Is your key on when you first start? When you pop the needles off with the fork is your key on? The reason I ask is because it looks like it is on because I can see your battery light and engine light on to the left of the temperature gage. Also will this work on a 2006 Chevy trailblazer?
Is this applicable to Ford fiesta 2004? Would I each gauges like that or just one. My gauges are not calibrated and it has affected all the guage
Thank you sir!

do you know if this will work with a 1993 ford f 150?
Nice video! 👏Can we do same calibration for the fuel and temperature gauge?

Thanks partner, worked perfect on my Crown Victoria as well!
Excuse me can you tell me please what have to do with cluster that have stopping pins? ,

Anyone know if this'll work on a 06 ranger cluster? I have the "donor" apart and I don't feel the gauge motors clicking like shown in the video.
thanks for this I was about to go looking for a bench power supply and a wiring harness
Do you go back past “zero” on all the gauges? Fuel, battery, etc?
Is calibrating the speedometer the same method?
sir i followed your steps i fixed my gauge cluster calibration thanks for making this video absolutely 👍🏻 worked
Thanks Derek! This was super helpful.
Will this process work on a 2000 Ford expedition
This work on the 99 explorer 5.0?
muito bom!
Good work
Would this work on a 2009 crown Vic?
Will this work on a 98 f150?
Just the fix I need. Much thanks.
This was the only thing stopping me from changing a blown bulb in my cluster - didn't want to mess up the needles. No excuse not to do it now!
That's how you end up getting free beer wherever you go. Well done!
Unreal. Three shops and a dealership couldn’t help me but this video saved my ass. Thank you so much for this video!!!
Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻
You're saving lives even after 5 years. Thanks bro. It worked.
It worked on my 2015 Nissan np300. Thanks my guy
Does it take same process for 2015 VW Passat?
Great video bro. Thanks
I have a 97 F150 I'm going to give it a shot if it's good I'll check in with you again thank you

I have an 01 F250 V10 took cluster out to change to LED's all gagues inoperable. How do I recalibrate fuel, temp, oil pressure ect????? 🤔
..excellent!
I pulled my temp Niddle off and was working just went to hot I put my njddle Back on know it won't move do I need to pull Nicole all the way over and back to 0 any help would be thankful

I have an 09 Mazdaspeed 3 and it worked for me!
Thanks for the video does this method work on a 04 Econoline van
Thank you it worked
Makes sense bud. Thanks!

oh another question is do you have to remove the needle or can you skip that step?
hi there I was wondering if this would work on my 2013 f-150? hope your still on youtube looking at comments haha
Is it the same when it comes to the MPH cause when I go top speed it says 102mph but in reality it reads like 97 and even if I drive in highway I go 75 on the cluster but I’m going 78moh on a speed app
Can someone please help me, how do i calibrate on a mk2 ford focus. Thanks
Excellent and useful video. Thank you sir. Do we have to take the needle out to re-calibrate or did you just do it for the illustration? Thx
Is your key on when you first start? When you pop the needles off with the fork is your key on? The reason I ask is because it looks like it is on because I can see your battery light and engine light on to the left of the temperature gage. Also will this work on a 2006 Chevy trailblazer?
Thanks, I replaced a step motor and this video really helped me to calibrate.
Thank you! You are a great teacher my friend
