Any tips B4 I take off my Gauge Cluster?

ok, I'm gonna go with Fuji's way of coloring my own RED gauges. I never took off a Gauge Cluster B4. Mines an 02 WRX. Any hints/tips B4 I start taking it apart. The wires are just unplug then plug it again right? Thanks guys

 

don't be suprised if one of the gauges doesn't work anymore after you put it back in.

 

you will end up with extra screws, count on it.

 

dont **** up

 

i have an extra one if you screw up and break it

damn kong, just chill =P

 

did you need a supervisor??

 

I've dismantled my gauge cluster many times, it still works fine. Just keep track of where your fuel needle is and line it back up when you're done.

 

Just fill the tank before you take it out. And if you swap (temporarily) fill the tank before you put it back in. Where to put the needle? FULL

 

that's a very good point

 

The gas gauge should be the only one that doesn't 'zero' itself.

 

Really? After I swapped fuel pumps, I went to take the indiglo faces off my cluster and stupidly tweaked the gas gauge needle up and down cuz I thought it was fun (it's got a bit more resistance than the other needles). Reinstalled it with the needle all the way at empty, but after I started it up, the needle moved back up to halfway full, which was where it was before I messed around with it... I think.

Is the gauge not correct now or something?

 

dont touch the needles.

 

When putting in indiglo gauges, it's impossible not to.

 

Wrong? probably not. Accurate? probably not.

 

wow, i didn't know that it matters to, to put the needle where b4 and after the installation. I thought it will re-read itself to the correct level. anyways thanks you all.

 

I just tested the fuel gauge thing a couple days ago, and I think that it would right itself on a full tank, but the needle wasn't correcting while I was sitting in the garage.
