Hey guys, I just spent a couple days replacing my intake manifold gasket to fix a nasty coolant leak on my 2000. Everything went well until I turned the car on for the first time after the repair. Everything runs fine except that none of my gauges appear to be working.

My tachometer, speedometer, and temperature gauges dont move at all. The fuel, oil, and battery gauges jump to the half way point, but don't appear to be working either (but I can't tell for sure).

Does anyone know what could have caused this? Maybe I forgot to plug a wire back in during the repair?

Help!! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

 

First check the fuses.

Then note that if you find a blown fuse and it blows again that means you have a short. And if you have a short, it is not always obvious because some of the different circuits are connected. I learned this when I had a short in a radio that would blow a fuse that would also stop my AC and speedometer (and other gauges).
