Hey guys,
Last weekend i finally got around to swapping out my old cracked dash pad with a nice clean one(which i got off these forums, thanks again suprajjang). Anyways, as I was putting the last few parts back in i decided to start up the car and make sure everything got wired back in correctly. My engine temp gauge, tachometer, and oil pressure gauges all stopped working :(. In addition, the engine temp doesn't light up at all, and the tachometer is dark till about the 3k mark. So i pulled the cluster back out and checked all the connections and they all seemed fine, but i pulled em out and put em back in just to be sure. Still no luck. I wont have time to get back to it until this weekend, at which point im gonna thouroughly check everything. so basically in the meantime, my question is did i make a stupid mistake somewhere? Is there one thing that would affect only those 3 gauges?
I reused my original harness which was working fine before the swap. I've also checked all my fuses just to be safe. I was very careful with the cluster, but there's always the possibility it broke during the swap. Hopefully i just missed a connection somewhere, and didn't do something horrible like break a wire in some obscure, hard to reach place. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you guys have.

Hopefully it's just something not plugged in right. Re-Check all of the plugs to the cluster. Also, be sure that your emergency light switch in the black console is plugged in. If it is not, it will cause fits, but usually with turn signals and brake lights.
