Yes, the engine not running and key out of the ignition when just above the 8.

Sure. With the needle far right key in on position and engine not running. With the needle just below the 8 engine off and key in the accessory position.

Looks to me that the needle is put on too far to the clockwise position. When the truck is off the needle should be all the way to the bottom stop to the counter clockwise direction.

Okay and agreed but what made it change all of a sudden from working as it should for the last 5 years cause the picture with the Le Carra Steering wheel shows the needle at rest as far left as can go back in 2018 and the lighted dash pic is from 2020 when it still worked as it should. Thanks for for your observations.

Re: Volt Gauge Conversion Kits

Mine did the same thing. Not sure why happened. I bench tested it with a battery and it does the same thing. Disconnected it and haven't done anything with it yet.
