Hi recently bought some 6 pointer gte clocks to put in my 1.2 g reg star, when ive fitted them today the fuel gauge needle just goes right round and when i refit my old clocks its fine.
Is it the gauge in the clock and can they be repaired

bits of info on here.
would guess the gauge is broken.
if you have a multimeter you may find the fault with the gauge.
is your wiring correct? Not sure if you have to change anything over? Crossed polarity etc
maybe some pics would help.
could be the resistor has blown in the back of the gauge?

Must be an issue with the fuel gauge then.

ah ok, on the orange needle clocks the resistor can go on the back but the white dial ones are digital on the back
