i had to work late today so my cousin started pulling my dash out to put in the new stepper motors and LEDs. He didnt mark the needles with tape off at where they need to be placed when reset, not cool. So how do i place them back when new steppers are in so its accurate?
also i left my meter at work and cant get it till monday so wat side of the panel should i put the resitor on?
im driving to neb in the morning so i hope someone can help me

well got em in and they look sweet but now my batterys are dead and truck wont start. I guess with the door dinger, key on and dome light on for 10 min totally drained it.
BTW pictures do not even come close to how good these things look

k guys my stepper for the fuel gauge does not reset it just keeps climbing forward every time the key is turns on. Bad stepper motor maybe? Would is have something to do with a bad solder joint maybe?
