Gas and temp gauge needle spun all the way around and doesnt work

Asked by Bambi Apr 14, 2020 at 07:39 AM about the 2000 Buick Park Avenue Ultra FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Why or how could the needles on dashboard go completely
beyond the informational digits and readings? They are
forced by the little tab that stops it.is this an electrical
issue?

1 Answer

do they do this on start up then come back or stay there . does it happen with key on, engine off. very likely a voltage problem. have you checked battery and charging voltage and engine ground.(s)
