Try pulling the battery cable and make the gauges do their sweep thing. If they don't recalibrate themselves, then the dash needs to be taken apart. Pull the needle off and with the engine warm and idling put the needle back on so it is just under 750 rpm (idle is supposed to be 725).

Putting the car in diagnostic mode will do the sweep thing also! Why are they off? Did you have your dash apart at one time?

She changed her gauge faces, so the needles needed to come off.

Okay so sweeping the needles won't fix them!

well that sux

I figured it was worth a shot. The motors don't have stops on them so I thought the gauge sweep would reset the max/min positions and readjust it.

You can try it, but I think you have to reposition the needles manually.

That may very well be the case. I can't say that I have an in depth knowledge of how they work.
