Gauge Face Install issue
So a few weeks ago I installed some blue gauge faces, they came out great! For some reason even though the needles were aligned correctly after the install, shortly after they moved 200-300 RPM's off and 7-10 MPH off.
I decided to open it back up and reset the gauges, and now they're both completely retarded. I'll put it back together and drive for an hour perfectly fine, get out of the car, come back in a few hours and the needle is pointing STRAIGHT DOWN .
I have no clue what could be causing this, i've reset it 5-6 times already and I keep having the same issue. I'm reluctant to unplug the speedo because of the possible issue with having to take it back to the dealer (Don't want to get charged for them to "Re-Enable" it). Does anyone have a clue what on earth is going on?!?
