Gauges frozen?
Thursday, February 10, 2005 8:28 AM
I get up to leave from my girlfriends ths morning and I get in my car and start driving and I notice none of my needles are moving. I'm like oh @!#$ I really messed something up this time ( I just put a glow overlay on ). So as I'm drving they start to move a bit then more and more as I drive. When I get close to home ( I live about 15-20 min away )they seem to almost be working as normal, still a little laggy ( will jump from like 35 to 40 ).

But I was wondering, did I mess something up? Or are they like frozen? It did snow here all last night so it is cold, but I just don't see how they could get frozen.

And they did work fine right after I put the overlays in...

Any ideas?

Pull the needles away from the face a little bit.

After driving again, I don't think thats the problem...

My car sat at work for 7 hours today. When I left, they didn't move again, but as I drove more they slowly started to move...

Why could this be??

I'm guessing it's cold where you are. Once you start moving, your car warms up. Once it warms up, things that were expanded by the cold are now contracted, and can move a little easier.

My fuel guage needle doesn't move at all. Never messed with the guages. All fuses are fine. And the gas light doens't come on when fuel gets low. What could be the problem?
