I just replaced my 4 needles and thought everything went well with the soldering. But when I plugged everything in, now all four no longer light up. They don't even move now. I replaced the 10A fuse for the gauges, but still nothing.

While I had the cluster out, I removed the back panel, planning to upgrade the dash bulbs with LEDs, but had the wrong size. Maybe one of the 3 ribbons didn't seat correctly. Am at a loss. Plus, now don't have all the original dash lights operating, on the right side.

I'll take the needles off again and test with a 9V battery. Something I know I should have done, in the first place.

Thanks in advance for any leads.
