Gauges dont work

I recently (yesterday) installed reverse indaglo gauges. Now my fuel and engin temp gauges dont work, my speed and rpm's work just fine, does anybody know how to correct this? Thanks

Try removing, unhooking, an dre-hooking it all up. Are the needles TRYING to move and just sticking, or not working at all? Do they light up?

They light up. Also my fuel gauge moved up I guess to my fuel level and has not moved since. My engin temp just stays stuck.

I also installed my reverse indiglows yesterday and my fuel and rpm needles were getting stuck. I'm to lazy to do it again, plus it's too cold outside now. But I'll need to do it soon.

I think I will re-do it this weekend. Did you take off the black gauges or leave them on? Maybe that could be part of the problem.

Your needles are probably just rubbing. Most installs call for leacing the black gauge faces in place and doing the Indiglos over them. I am not 100% sure on this, b/c I did OEM SE gauges.

DO a search for my username in the last few months and read about my needle rubbing problems and how i resolved them.
