I changed my ignition switch and after I put the new in, the tach. and temp. and battery gauges all stopped working?? then i tried putting the old switch back the gauges still wont work.

I need help!!
Did I loosen a wire somewhere or blow a inline fuse or something??
I checked the fuse box and all those fuses were fine.

All help would be appreciated, thanx.

I am having a brain fart. If those gauges are all on the same side of the cluster, I would look for a loose wiring connector/connection.

Good luck.

The gauges on a given side of the cluster tend to share a harness (and if that harness is disturbed, one side will work and the other might not). There is no fuse that I know of. It would be an electrical connector/connection or a ground wire which might have been tampered with that could cause this issue.
