Are you sure that the needle is pressed down all the way where it is not working?

Did it ever work? By saying, "Not working" do you mean it is reading wrong or totally non functional?

Yeah, they just need to be calibrated then. I have instructions written on my site.
Check out the section on Gauge Needle Zeroing. It's an easy fix, just a bit time consuming to get it perfect.
