Gauges Dont Work!!!

[92gsnonturbo]

Ok, I put reverse glow gauges in and now the gauges dont work at all!!! what the hell?!?? i really dont know what to do....

first off, what all gauges are you hooking up, A/F? Boost?...

I believe he is speaking about the gaugecluster itself. As for them not working, Have you pushed the cluster all the way into the dash so the connections joing like they should, Again? did you take your needles off(I hope not)? Did you pull at and or damange the needles or try removing them while installing the new gauge faces? The cluster should just get pushed right back in firm so the connections are joined, And everything should be fine. Take the cluster back out, Then try to push it back in. Make sure it is in all the way though.

i did pop the needles off, but i knew i prolly screwed up the cluster by doing that...so i got a different cluster out of my other 92 parts eclipse and still...i had nothing. no rpms, natta.

Did you check the fuse in the fuse box under the dash, To make sure that it is not bad?

i did this also but i was very careful not to do any damage to it at all, i pulled the needles off and put everything on perfectly, plugged it up and everything works, rpm, gas, oil...all that works except the stock lights dont work so my needles dont light up, not even my a/c and heater lights work now. I checked the fuses and their all fine, im lost right now on why i have no lights there, my cd player still works and so does my interior lights....

Did you check the light bulbs in the back of the cluster?
You can also take an eraser and clean off the connections to make sure they're not dirty and not making contact.

i pulled the guage cluster out around 6 at night and had the lights on so i know they work, took me almost an hour to put the new gauges in the way i wanted it, went out to plug it in, everything seemed fine till i tried to turn my lights on and nothing inside my car light up, head lights and tails work so im confused.

I don't mean your headlights and tail lights. I'm talking about the light bulbs in the cluster. If it's like my 95, it has a ton of little light bulbs in the back.

at first i was talking about the inside lights were working before i pulled it at night and i just said the headlights/every light was working before it was pulled. When i put it back is where it all didnt come back.
