This happened to mine last winter. Drove around with the gps as a speedometer until a couple months ago. lol but like you said sometimes Id turn it off and it would be fine on restart. One day falls down a well and goes crosseyed, a few months later gets kicked by a mule and the eyes go straight again.. I dunno

I had a buddy replace all seven of mine. He works with
electronics. It took him all of 20 mins. It was really easy and if you can solder then you can do this.......Scott

I have to do the stepper motor routine myself.

I'd like to LED the gauges too. Post 03 is just soldering new bulbs in right? I wanna do the whole thing while its out.

If anyone here needs their gauges fixed it is best to replace all the motors behind every gauge. The stock clusters have plastic gears in them and it is only a matter of time before they all fail. The new motors have brass gears in them and WONT fail. If anyone needs some help with the steppers motors or backlighting hit me back. You also need to know where to set the pointers(needles).
