Disconnect the aftermarket parts that were just installed. Disconnect the battery and touch the cable ends together to discharge any capacitors. Re-connect the battery and see if you still have gauges and such working or not. If everything is working, there is a problem with the equipment you installed, or you wired something into a communications line on the vehicle. If something got wired up incorrectly, you could have caused damage to other components.(not always the case, but it is possible)
