AH CRAP! What did i do? Gauges stopped working

I was trying to finish up re-grounding everything per described in the archives. i was grounding the ECU and got it done, then took the car for a drive. Sounded good, felt good, but i noticed the tach wasn't working, nor where any of the other gauges but the speedo. what happened? how do i fix it ? i ungrounded the wire to see if it would fix it, but the gauges still aren't working

shorted circuit or frayed wire I suppose. If a frayed wire keeps touching a metal contact I think it would cause fuses to keep blowing.

Go back over where you grounded and make sure you didnt knock anything loose and make sure everythign is correct the second time.
