Tachometer and Fuel gauge not working

I pulled the dash and gauge cluster out yesterday. I opened up the cluster to check if everthangs alright and reassembled and put everything back together. Now my tach shows no life and fuel gauge needles goes all the way up.

Lol you screwed something up. Did you recheck to make sure you didnt unhook anything from the gauge cluster. Also, if you're worried about the fuel gauge the only thing i can think of is to drain the tank and find some way to make the gauge read empty. Then when it reads empty, fill the tank back up to see if it works. It may be messy but i cant think of anything else. As for the tachometer i dont know.

I guess i somehow plugged it in wrong but that would mean the tach would have went up too... maybe it *gasp* died?
