TEMP, OIL, and RPM gauges dont work!

Hey so before i had the accident with my car all my gauges worked. When I did the swap to the new shell now none of these work. What should I look for? I hope I can get these things done today! Would there be a problem if my original car was and had S4 Sport model cluster and all the things I transferred to has a S4 TurboII cluster?

Your meter fuse is probably blown. It controls the instrument cluster. First determine if it's blown, then you can start to pinpoint what's causing it to blow.

replace it and see how long it lasts. pay close attention to see if it blows when you shift into 5th or reverse. those two switches are tied into the meter fuse and can be the culprit sometimes. A bad reverse switch on my car kept blowing the meter fuse.
