2002 Dodge Grand Caravan speedometer needle pegged

I replaced the starter and the battery on my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with
a 3.3l engine. Now my analog speedometer gauge needle is pegged below the
post. When I put it in gear it hits the bottom of the post and is stuck
there until i shut off the car. How can I reset this? Thanks

You need to perform the self test for the cluster, Try this..
To activate the Self-Diagnostic program:
1.. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, depress the TRIP
ODOMETER RESET button.
2.. Continue to hold the TRIP ODOMETER RESET button until Sof and a number
(software version number (sof 3.2) appears in the odometer window then
release the button.

Each vehicle has its own self diagnostics if it is equipped with such
diagnostics, some wont have it at all
