Default Is my boost gauge toast ?

When I was doing simple cleaning and maintenance, I dropped my boost gauge on the ground and now it reads 5Psi with the car turned off
When I first got it, it would always be at zero with the engine turned off. Is there any way to fix these things

IMO i dont think you can fix it when that happens... Maybe someone here know how, but i never heard of anyone fixing his gauge after that happen. Good luck.

I've taken the light bulb out and bent the metal piece inside to get the needle to sit on zero.

thanks Ed, I'll give that a shot. If not, send it to Autometer for replacement. They're nice guys over there
