JDM Cluster gauges not working
 
I bought a jdm s13 cluster and installed it along with a new dash over the weekend. When I started the car the needles stayed exactly where they were when I bought it. The speedometer is pinned at 180km/hr and the tachometer is also pinned. Is there a easy way to "reset" it. I really don't feel like pulling it apart again. Thanks for any input
also, the 3 connectors were plugged in so rule that out

Where the needles pinned all the way when installing it. If so rev it up and should work to get it back into the right spot. Well that works for the tach.

I brought a UKDM cluster and the tach was the same I a used the above method to fix it. (rev'd the shyt of it for a sec) Did you try to drive it to see if the start to read right?

No the car is still in the garage, thanks for the suggestions i'll take it out tomorrow and see if that works. MADE was your speedo pinned as well? Don't think i'll be going 110mph just to get it to work lol

Shyt why not? :naughty: I wasn't saying to peg out the speedo just drive it at Socal Hwy speeds and I think it would come back to life. My Speedo was good to go the tach was pegged. 50/50 shot

110mph is like the old fast 65mph speed limit.LOL

For future references whenever someone has this problem, just rev/drive the car and the needles will jump to the other side, thanks guys.

What if the guages are not working at all? pinned at 0 for both tach and speedo, and the gas and temp guages dont work. Not on my car, but my little bro's S13. Its an 89 240sx with an SR20. The original digital cluster went out so we swapped in a JDM S13 cluster but it wont work.

Check the wiring again then check the verify the JDM cluster is good.
