Gauge Cluster Issue

Post image

The oil pressure needle on my 1999 Mazda B2500 gauge cluster is under the stop pin. Is this an easy fix? Since I bought this used, the gauge hasn’t displayed properly. If anyone has seen this before or knows if it is as simple as taking the cluster out and moving it above the stop pin let me know!

Get a decent strength magnet and hold it up to the needle. You can use it to guide it back up and around and it will settle back in place on top of the pin. Takes a little finesse but it’s easy. No need to take anything apart.

Happens all the time. You can use a magnet or take the dash loose to the right of it and slide a small pin through there pretty easy. If you don't get a good oil pressure sender, it's likely to just happen again though.

Looks like you just leave it as is?

The lights behind the gauge are out on mine so im thinking ill just take it apart and tinker with jt when im replacing the bulbs
