So, long story short, I was cleaning the dust inside the 2009 jimny dash (after removing the transparent plastic) and accidently touched the RPM needle. Now the needle is just stuck, sometimes moves/overshoots.. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or I would be better off repalcing the whole dash.. Thanks for any help...Long live the Jimny mob!

When at rest is the needle on the stop bar or just floating in space as it were?

Did you bend the needle so it is now hard against the dial face? if so try just easing it off a bit.

So, I started the car, the needle moved, as I accelerated and de-accelerated although not precise. And after a few minutes of driving, It went all the way to the red zone and beyond and is just sitting there now and won't budge. I have unplugged the battery for 5 minutes and started again, no effect..
@Soeley, I will have a closer look, Thanks..Also, while I am driving around, I can hear a minute clicking sound, as though the rpm motor is spinning or stuck..
