This happened to me when I fitted my Lockwood white dials so seeing as you have already had the clocks out b4 check the multiplug at the back of the clocks.

Mine was ever so slightly loose and just needed a wiggle. Just make sure its working with the engine at idle until you get the clocks back in place.
