Hello I have the car listed above with a v6 3800 series engine, five speed transmission. I recently replaced my factory OEM bulbs in my instrument cluster with LED's also replaced the face plate gauges with an aftermarket face plate.
i had to remove the needles on the instrument cluster to put the face plate on and I put the needles back on but I did not mark or take a photo of the placement of the needles before I removed them. I put all the needles back on but none of it is reading correctly. Is there a way I can reset my instrument cluster so that all the needles read correctly?

Try disconnecting the battery for a while (maybe an hour) and then hook it back up. That might get them all set to 0. Then you might have to take the needles off and set them to 0 manually.

Also, it could be that the face plate itself is interfering with the movement of the needles. You might have to take it off and widen the pin holes a little bit so it is not touching the pins that the needles are set on.
