  • Speedo & Tachometer needle problem

    Hey guys!

    New to the forum, thanks for having me.

    Hopefully I'm in the right discussion.

    Recently bought a 07 KDJ120r Prado and loving it.

    When I purchased it I noticed that the needle on the speedo and tachometer dials were not at zero when they should be.

    At 100km the speedo is at 90 and tachometer below 1000RPM.

    When I stop and the car is off both fall well below the zero mark.

    Can I pop the needles off and re zero? Or is it more than that?

    Thanks guys

      Check to see if the dome light fuse is blown

        I fixed the problem a little while ago. Forgot to chuck it up.
        incase anyone else has the same issue.

        I checked the dome light. All good. No problem.

        I pulled the cluster out to see what the go was. It turns out the speedo & fuel gauge needles had slipped down.

        I reset the speedo to 0 km/h and tested. Speedo is now accurate throughout the range.

        I tested the fuel gauge by filling the tank and taking note of when it switched to the next tank. It stopped approximately 1/8 below full.

        Simply pushed the needles on the spindle until it reached the end point. The needle then slipped on the shaft. Took a few goes but eventually got it to the right place.

        Hope this helps anyone in future.

        Thanks
