It’s me again: 06 Dodge Ram 4x4 4.7 quad cab; had an intermittent electrical issue that prevented starting. Normal startup makes all the analog dials jump and return to starting position. Last interrupted ignition cycle the Speedo spun all the way to the right and stayed there. Now it’s pegged underneath the pin it used to rest on, rendering it useless.

Any ideas on how to get it back around to the normal position?
Edit: never mind, got it fixed.

most of them you can take a strong magnet and rotate it back to where it goes but some vehicles the clear lens may be to far from cluster to do it may need removed to do it

Actually I found a video that shows how to reset gauges: with the ignition off, press and hold the odometer reset button, then turn the key one stop. All the needles swing over and then return to the left in stages. Worked pretty slick!
