Okay dude, Here'* what'* up.
1. Pop the trunk.
2. Get in.
3. Look way forward in the corner by the seat on the passenger side.
4. Move stuff until you see the wires going into the floor.
5. Right there by those wires, Hooked to the shiny metal peice is a wire. Unhook it.
6. Now your guage doesn't work at all.
7. Clean that wire and the spade connection.
8. Put it back together.
9. Yay! it works!
10. Have a beer.
BTW, Where are you in H-Town? I've been all the way around the 440.
