Well that's good, that's something you can fix. Atleast the LCD module itself is working. I've also got pics on there of me cleaning the gear selector switch which is what you need to do to get it to indicate the correct gear. The fuel gauge is a bit trickier. You can pull the float and sending unit out of the bottom of the tank and try bending the arm to "adjust" it but it's tricky. I never got mine all that accurate and just go by the tripodometer. 90miles and I start looking for a gas station.
