Oh god don't say that with all the horror stories I've read in the past about these things....

I busted the cluster opened and reset all the needles, hopefully this doesn't happen again!

My guess.........................voltage spike in the instrument panel system or in the vehicle.

Thanks guys, I reset the needles last night and they've been fine since. Apparently another member on a different forum said his have done the same thing since replacing the face and needles. Why I have no clue, its not like anything component wise was changed.

Lets hope so....I got my fingers crossed for you.


Gawd how I love that instrument panel!!!!............someday when my H2 grows up, it will have one like that too.

The face is on ebay for about $45 now and the needles are dirt cheap! Pick up a set and throw it in.

I don't have the soldering skills to put all those LED's on the circuit board. It takes a steady hand and a good amount of patience to do that and make it look good not just work correctly.

When I was in school, the industrial arts were the classes the boys enrolled in (wood & metal shop). Electronics/computers were juuuuuust coming into style as I was graduating. I recall seeing the first computer system called Commodore 64. Then, well.........you know the rest.
