Icon3 help with gauges

Ok I have been searching for about 2 hours to the answer. I have a 2001 civic sedan lx. I was swaping gagues out of a 2003 lx into my car. I followed the write-up exactly. They did not work. I figure they were no good because the salvage yard didnt even know the miles on them. Any way went to swap the stock ones back in. Well didnt write down what wires went where in the plugs. I think I got everything corret from the manual, not sure though. If someone has a diagram on how they should be hooked up please post it. I ask for this because my stock gagues do nothing now at all. No lights on, and the lights for the ac controls dont work. I have checked all fueses and replaced ones that I seen were for gauges. I am lost, I am hoping I didnt fry something! Thanks

Follow this link and it will show you how to wire them up correctly.

The fuses you need to look at are under your hood. When you pull all those pins out of the plugs you have hot 12 volt wires and a couple of grounds all touching each other.

Always remember when you are dealing with any electrical mods to disconnect your battery first.

Good luck...

Thats actually the guide I followed. Right now I am mainly wanting to get the stock ones (the 2001) wired back in. I need the pinout for that. I want to make sure it is working fine beacuse that is the main step I forgot was to disconect the battery, I dont know why I am very good about doing that I am just to tired when I started and wasnt paying attention. I had quite a few wires pulled out of the blue plug before I even relized I didnt unplug the battery,

Anyone have any suggestions? Do you think I have fried something? I have check for the 4 volts that is said should be at the plugs, and all 4 are there. So I dont know where to go next.

It says in the how to that the top pic is what you should have when you are finished and the bottom pic is what it looks like before you start. That is your pin out.
