I guess i jinxed myself when i posted my lude is finally running fine. Anyways i got in the car tonite to drive to a friends house, and the temp/fuel gauges were shutoff. i started tapping them lol, and nothing. i turned the lights on and off a few times, turned the car off, turned it back on than they were very dim. I started tapping the dimmer button location, and it got a little brighter. The strangest part is when i put my ebrake down, they got really bright, than went back to normal brightness. Any thing i should check for? fuses, wires ?

 

thats gunna be a loose connection at your wires. did you mess with any of them while you worked on the car? weird how when the ebrake went down they worked. theres no wires for that there...hmm i would start at the dimmer switch make sure everything is connected securely then work your way yo the gauges.
