Not Cool

Alright this all stems from neglect. I purchased a 91 non-ic truck and the fuel level gauge and speedometer didn't work from the get go, that being said i order a sending unit and stand alone gauge from sunpro, the stock sending unit is missing a float and with the storms that ripped through alabama all pull a parts have nothing, so the sunpro was the option. We connected the switched 12v wire to the stock clusters 12v, ground to ground and the sending unit wire to the sending unit, the gueage comes with plastic isolation washers for the bracket that mounts the gauge to the dash mount. Those weren't installed and power was put to it and burned the power wire to the stock gauges plug to the fuse. i replaced this wire, and fixed the isolation issue. now i have power to the fuel level gauge, and the oil pressure gauge, thats it. all lights work but no coolant temp, no voltmeter, the information center doesnt work and the light in the 4wd indicator doesnt work. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

The fusible links are on the drivers side fender. This is the best fix for them bad or not. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...09#post1407509
