Cringe...just buy a needle tool or carefully use plastic trim tools. No scary threat of destroying stepper motors needed. At least you have it unplugged but pop a new needle on and I'd be willing to bet that sucker is off. I could very well be wrong, but in many years of modifying GM clusters I've never seen anything quite like this! 😮 but you 100% followed the description of the video, and these days? A-freakin-men lol, In that case alone= A+++++ give ya a like too
It was just a spare cluster I had sitting around. Figured it might help someone else that wouldn't have the proper tools. I do agree that using a needle tool is the more correct way to do this.
Mines a 2007 was cleaning my cluster and my needle came out when doing so. When I went to put it back i noticed today morning driving to work it hasnt moved at all. Im doing your maneuver is there anything i need to do as far as resetting the battery for this to work and move ?
Wow perfect to my kei van ty sir

Worked perfect on a 2009 Renault Koleos dash cluster! Thanks man!

I'd check how far on you pressed the needle back on. Should just be a millimeter distance roughly from the needle to the gauge face.
