installed leds on gauges = gas gauge not functioning correctly.
i have a problem.. eversince i did leds on my cluster gauges yesterday, the "empty" side has moved up to half.. so when my gauge says i have a "full" tank i actually have half a tank..
my gauge worked perfectly before this.. the check gauges light would turn on meaning i could only drive 20 or less miles and i actually drove 15 before refilling up again.. i did a scan tool "functions test" on it at awhile ago for ***** and giggles where you could make it go at 10% full and it would go to just about where 10% would on the empty to full gas gauge. 20% and it would climb a little higher, 50% and it would go to half tank area so on and forth..
has anyone else have had this problem? i will start looking for loose connections or other bullshit tomorrow and update on what i find..

nevermind.. fixed it... i mustve knocked it out of place while i was doing the leds.. cause all i had to do was pull the needle all the way off and put it back in where my gas would actually be at.. since i was at empty, i lined it up to e and pushed it in.. then key on engine off, stayed at e.. went to fill up and filled all the way up.. voila!
all talking to myself and ****.. thanks for the reply guys.. hahaha

My gas gauge has been acting up, it sweeps down to empty then goes back up to 1/4 tank, then may go a bit higher before it settles into the right spot but it shows empty sometimes when there is plenty of fuel. I did a Racetronix kit a couple yrs ago and it worked fine till a few months ago. Any help would be great.
