while doing my cleaning rounds, i got a dead moth out from the between the plastic screen & instruments, i think i must have bumped something i shouldn't have...the tacho now sits almost pointed directly down when turned off, and both speedo & tacho do a crazy dance twitching without moving far upon turning on or off ignition.
tacho does seem to work fine...but at needle showing lower revs than should be...seems to fit with how much lower it's of position is now did i break my cluster? anyone know what the hell i did? |

Mine did the same thing when I put in my white background on my cluster. It took a while to fix for me. I had to keep taking the needle off and putting it back on untill it was in the position. It was a while ago and that is all I can remember from my experience, hope it helps you.

Yeah they just pull off but you have to be really careful because they are held on by a very thin wire. Maybe an idea to use 2 small flat head screwdrivers to pry them up.

found mine came off real easy by rotating them counter clockwise while pulling them towards you.
mine have done the same. been told the rotating them counter clockwise until they show 0 when the car is off will/should fix the problem
