Default problem with fuel gauge/temp gauge, pls help

tonight me and a mate replaced the inverotr to attempt to get the clocks brighter, any how, it did not work,

now after plugging it up after doing it, the temp gauge is reading wrong and the fuel gauge is not reading at all,

the clocks will have been turned a few times and maybe even
knocked, does any one know how to over come this, or are
they now goosed

thanks in advance

hopefully its just a connector not been put back on properly. Sounds you like you need to go back and check everythings properly connected up.
