Problems with dials

[LJ]

Fitted a set of white dials yesterday and now none of the needles move
All the lights behind them work but none of the guages

I have tried a spare set of guages and the same problem
Any ideas???

May sound stupid but have you cliped the needles on properly, Or prehaps you may of pushed them on too hard and broke the pin?

Hi LJ,

I had this problem with some of my dials and worked out i hadnt pushed the dials on far enough. Only needed half a mil more and they worked ok then.

When you pulled the needles off did you use needlenosed pliers? If you did make sure you havent squashed the plastic around the spindle where you grabbed it with the pliers

Ok, leave one or two of the spindals that aren't working off (easy access) and the simply view the spindal or gently touch with strip of paper to check for rotation , if turns = spindal needle prob'
