I recently had to remove the needles when I opened my e92 cluster.. now that everything is back together, I'm seeing the needle idles at 10mph, and then as it accelerates, it moves COUNTER-clockwise!! It eventually hits the gas gauge needle.. and if I remove the can-bus data, it immediately goes back to 10mph.
It would seem like I must have hit a switch that causes the stepper motor to go in the opposite direction? Is that possible? Has anyone seen such damage from removing the needles?
Not for the e92, but I don't see any mention of direction on replacement stepper motors on the e38/39/53:

What else could it be?
