Gauges not working

I just had the gauge faces replaced (from silver to black) and now the tach, batter, and oil pressure gauges are not working. I have checked that theconnectors are securely in place. Any ideas?

Possibility: related fuse are E1 B1 B10 but take a good look at the connector because there is no relation between tack, oil pressure power wise ????

Check to make sure that the needles were not pushed down too far. If you put them on too tight, they will make contact with the gauge face and not be able to turn. If your problem is not electrical - this is it.

I am having issues trying to open the gauge cluster. I removed the two screws and clips, but something is keeping it together at the top of the tach...

Yes, I did.

I finally got it open. The needles of battery gauge and tach are free moving inlike the ones that are working.
