shark racing gauge faces - Hyundai Performance Forums

Tibbychick · 03-06-2004, 09:34 PM

I installed the Shark Racing gauge faces and now there's a light that says HOLD that lights up all the time and stays lit up. This wasn't on the stock faces, or at least it didn't light up if it was there. What the hell is it for and what does it mean?

Also I messed up when putting the needles back on and now it says I'm doing 40mph when I'm sitting still, the engine is running dangerously hot (its not, just the gauge says it is), and Im constantly red lining. The only gauge that's somewhat accurate is that gas gauge. I though I put them back on correctly, but I guess not. anybody have any tips? Should the car be running? Thanks guys.

its prolly your airbag light, cept maybe they called it something different in plder tibs.

needles, put everything in, except for the clear plastic gauge sheild thing.

go fill your gas tank up, pull the needle off, put it at the top.

coolant temp... put it on till you can get it to fall down to, but not past the lowest level when you turn the engine off.

tach, start the car, take the needle off and put it back on around 800. it should go exactly to 0 when you turn the car off.

speedo, turn the car on, take the needle off, and then put it back on right at zero.

also, remeber to put the needles back on VERY loosely, or else they will stick.

airbag?? hmmmm would that mean then that there's a problem with my airbag?I'll have to look and see if there's a seperate light for the airbag.

And thanks for the tips!

no, its just something that comes on. but you wont know if there is something wrong with your airbag, cause the light is allready on.

well as far as I know they were never deployed. I'm pretty sure the light used to come on and then go off with the old gauges. Now, if its the same light, it stays on. Would resetting my ECU make it go away?

its prolly not even the airbag light. try resetting things.

I have SR guages and don't like the Shark logo lighting up.

I put a piece of black electric tape on the back of the logo. Try that. No light comes through.

I compared em to the stock faces and it doesnt even look like the light was there....there is something there where it is now on the SR ones, but it looks like it wouldnt be able to light up, its like covered up. and this light only comes on when I turn on the headlights. DOesnt make sense to me.

When you took your dash off, did you disconnect the battery first? That was something you should of done before hand, if you didnt. The air bag light needs to be reset. I'm pretty sure if you go to the dealer and just tell them it came on, on it's own, they might be able to reset it for you no charge. Otherwise, some dealers will charge you.
