Is this normal?

Okay, I replaced the hose and the pump for the squirts today, but to reach the screw holes, I had to take out the wheel and fender walls, and to thread the new hose through, I needed to take out the battery.

Now, After everything is reassembled, the tach and speedo's needles both are just sitting in the maxed position, and don't move when I start the car. Do I just need to physically move them back or is this an electrical problem?

BTW: the time and my radio presets weren't deleted/reset. Is that normal too? (I never had to take my battery out before today, so I'm not sure)

Thanks

i would disconnect the battery for 10-15 mintues and re hook it back up and see if that helps you out.

If I can get a moment when it's not raining, I'll give it a hot. Thanks

BTW: everything else works just fine.
