hey guys.. least week my indiglow gauges took a crap on me so i got new ones.. i took the whole cluster out to put the new faces in and i had to move my gas gauge in the prosses. when i did this my car had little to no fuel.. after i was all done i put the cluster back in.(but i leaft the gas gauge at about a half tank, thinking it would go down) well it didnt..now it reads a quarter tank past full....(when i fill it all the way, it reads a 1/4 tank past full) does anyone know what i can do to fix this..any help will be nice.. thanks

I haven't touched my gauge, but when I completely fill it, it goes between an 1/8 and a 1/4 over the full line.

Sounds like the needle is binding on the overlay, or you forced the needle to move faster than normal, and broke it.
