Please help!!

I just swapped out my interior trim piece above my gauges. I followed instructions on the removal process and took the dash cluster out of the car. I re-installed everything based on the same instructions and now i have no gauges at all.

Please help.

Sounds like you have a connection that is not tight. I would recheck the three connectors on the back of the cluster.

Also check the fuses to make sure that you did not inadvertently blow one.

You were right. I checked the connections and one was not in all the way.

Thanks for the help

Luckily I didn't break it, just missed plugging one of the cables in properly.

Yes I did that once, scared the @#$ out of me. It was a different issue... the connector that slide inwards on each end when putting back the whole thing together was not all the way in.
