Default What Happened To My Gauges?

Hi. I disconnected my battery and connected another one to run a test on my audio system, which is another story altogether. I then put back the original battery and started up the car and reset my radio presets. That was when I noticed that the needles for the Gas and Engine Temperature were on the other side of the pin. How does that happen? Is this some thing that I have a mechanic open the dash and reposition the needles? This sucks . Any advice?

wow,that's messed up glad it fixed itself and glad you got a pic of it like that, otherwise I would have a hard time believing it. the temp gauge had to have rotated clockwise and the gas gauge counter clockwise to that position.

Wow, that is weird. Especially how they came all around like that.

Anyway, glad to see your problem is solved.

Oh, and welcome to CL.
