Default Xtrem Help! Gauge Cluster Post GLOW INSTALL

I have searched for 3 hours with no success. After installing glow gauges all my gauges are not working. When I take it for a test run speedo will start moving but only when I hit about 40mph and its wayyyy off. RPM will work when high revved. It immediatly reads as engine hot. lol

Needs reset ecu or calibrated.

I HAVE disconnected neg cable and done the hold brake for 10 sec then put back on.
I hAVE also disconnected neg cable for 15-20 min and it still will not reset. I have located the MAIN fuse for car but I guess its bolted in underneath box cause its not coming out.

IDEAS IDEAS IDEAS<---------------------

I got a chuckle, thanx. Put in a lower thermostat, LOL!
Your gauges probably don't support the voltage/amperage requirement from stock gauges and their corresponding sending units (like you said, possibly ECU). The change is too dramatic, and small changes are not read properly as well.
Kind of like LED for signal lights, you need an adapter of some kind.

These are overlay glow gauges. You dont think I was suppose to remove the old ones do ya? I layed it over the stock. THESE DO NOT PLUG INTO the stock unit. Cluster was plugged in just like when I removed it, layed glow gauges over them, pluged back in. They have their own pos and neg wire that makes it glow.

MAYBE I should have taken stock ones off. I wouldnt think it would matter but Im the one stuck with no gauges right now right>lol The needles are not tight and are free moving so its no too tight being layed over oem. I dunno. I cant figure out how to reset the ECU
