Gauge Problems

[Vadyr]

So while my car was down for repairs I thought it would be nice to update the gauge panel with new reverse indiglo lights. All went well until I was reinstalling the gauge bezel and heard what I could only describe as a "whirr sound" as I was plugging the bezel back in. I turn the key and start the car. The RPM, and Speedo work just fine. None of the other gauges are working now. No oil pressure, no boost pressure, Fuel Gauge is all the way down (even though tank is full), and temperature stays at half way whether car is on or off. Any ideas? Maybe a relay or something. I checked all the fuses and couldn't find any that were burned out, both under the hood, and under the dash. I'm not to worried about the fuel gauge, but I would like to know the temperature.

It could be how you installed them. When I did mine I pushed the needles around and none of my guages were accurate after that but they still worked somewhat. Fuel guage would stop at 1/4 tank and temp guage wouldn't get past 1/3 of the way up.

I thought that too, but with that "whirring" sound I think I may have accidentally fried something. It would be different if the gauges "kinda" worked, but none of the 4 smaller gauges work at all. Only the Speedo and RPM's work.
