have you verified that you did not hook it up wrong? did you check all fuses?
Thanks for the advice. I need all the room I can get since I am lacking in the "little asian hands" department.

I didn't hook it up wrong. I wired all three guages to the red/black wire from fuse #19 which controls the parking lights, dash lights, etc. I grounded the guages to a metal ground behind the kick panel near the door. I am going to look at the fuses briefly since it is raining and has been raining here for 4 days now. I will let you know what I find. I also found out today that my intermittent wipers don't work but all the rest do. Could that also be an issue with the wiring or something else since all the other speeds work?
