The temp and fuel gauges were working fine until the battery died. I played the DVD player too long when the car was not started and drained the battery. Once the battery was recharged these 2 gauges didn't work. I see that the needles are stuck under their pins. Almost like they did a full circle to get there?

How can I get the needles above the pins?

Thanks, Patty Mac.

I had this same thing happen to me, except it was only the gas needle that went past the pin, What the repair man did was take a magnet and put it directly over the needle and turn it back to the original position and it has been working great ever since
