We took the speedo out, changed the lights to blue.
The speed and petrol parts work fine, The tempreture and revs wont move at all. Any idea how I can fix this??

Yeah, we put the lights in then put it in the car and drove to subway and measured the speed with the mode +down feature to make sure it was accurate, But no tempreture and no revs, Fuel is also fine. Damn annoying thing.

BTW thanks for the help with the heater control wrx884, they work great :)

its hard to say without seeing the cluster, if they were working before you pulled it apart you may have missed something putting it together, what area are you in?
if you need parts i have plenty of parts clusters.

Thanks for the help. We figure out we have pushed the needles in too hard. I think we were feeling a little over ambitious when we were putting them back on.

We pulled it off a bit then pushed it around to the top and let it go. It fell without getting stuck. I used the mode + down digital speed and that was 2ks out which is the same as before we changed the lights.

Everything looks to be working fine.
Just need to get 1 more blue light for the a/c switch and the headlight switch is still green for some reason and then its done.
