My dash lights on the fuel gauge and temp were out so I replaced the bulbs inside the dash, when I put dash back together the gauges will not work. The gas gauge is all the all past full, temp gauge is way past hot and the speedometer and RPM gauge will not work at all. They are on O and wont move....any suggestions?

first make sure the connection is good, take the whole thing out and reconnect. if that doesnt help then remove the negative battery cable and let sit for ten minutes and reconnect.

did you take the negative battery cable off before you started replacing the bulbs, if not you may have caused a short.
