Default 1992 sc400 cluster problems

hey guys. quick post while im at work here. but last night I changed all the bulbs and needles in my instrument cluster so I actually had lights on and now my tempature gauge reads just under over heating and my revs sit at zero while at dead stop. car itself doesnt seem hotter than normal neither the coolant and idles normal so I figure something with my electrical is screwed up. I know my ecu is on its way out cause all my lights are on. check*engine. abs traction. ect. could that just be my problem and maybe the thermostat and coolant sensor? just need some tips. going to be sending my dash and ecu to lex tech in a month to get it all re done. thanks. hope for some help. will stay in touch with any news tonight.

You just pushed down on the tach needle too far or not enough. Redo it again. The temp is prolly the same. Make sure you don't break the plastic tabs or you'll be sorry. I hope this helps. You got it out of the factory calibration.

Ok, think about this.

If the temp and RPM was working fine then you removed and replaced the needles and it wasn't working then....
