My guage needle for my mph/speedometer just started sticking and sometimes stops. I have a white face dial kit, and the guys warned me that this could happen when they installed it. I have had it for a year and it just started doing it......any suggestions would be very appreciated.
All the other guages are fine...expect the mph/speedometer guage and it really sucks to have to judge speed!!!!!!!

I would try taking the face kit off and re-apply it just for the speedometer.

Just follow the flow of traffic man.
Kidding... You could get a bicycle speedo and stick the sensor to your wheel. haha

could be the "motor" (I call it that cuz it looks like a small motor) for the speedo I had one go bad when I did my glow needles. I have a few of them if you need one.

mine did that for my speedometer, after i put my white faced gauges on.
turns out the double sided tape I used was junk, and let go, so the gauge lifted up and was touching the needle.
I just got better tape and re-applied it, been good for a year now.

I would glady buy a motor from you....if you name a price and a way for me to get one that would be rad. I want to take all the steps I can before having to replace the dash.
I have a paypal account.....so just message me if you have some extras you dont need:)
I appreciate all your help guys...hopefully I can get if fixed...I dont think the dash would come off assuming I needed to take it off....the guys who did it used glue!!!

im thinking they just did a bad install.. buy some double sided tape and take your gauges apart.. its not really hard at all.
