Hi guys thanks for the replies already. will try al the suggestions so far and keep you updated. I have replaced all the connectors back into the right colour housings( could have been a valid one!) but the speedo fuel and temp gauges do work so its kinda pointing me in the digital display direction cheers again. looking on the bright side though I'm getting my multimedia installed next week. Alpine PKG 1000p roofmount with the alpine multi changer ps2, 200g harddrive and jl audio cleansweep hopin this is a good setup or if others know otherwise please holla back at me.
