Default Guages dead after Evap Replacement

I expect I have a plug out but would appreciate thoughts on where to start looking. I have some lights on the switches outside the gauge cluster but nothing in it and no warning lights.

And on the a/c lines, do they just push together? Seems too easy or too weak.

Did you drive around at all? I noticed that when I did some work on my car I needed to go faster than a specific speed for the guages to come back.

There is mainly one plug that feeds everything. But depending the older cars may have one extra.

The lines just push in as long as they lock then it will be fine.

The good news is we're blowing 42 degrees with no detectable leak. I also broke the linkage arm coming off the recirc motor. It's cutting in to my $1200 savings. I'll report back on the guages. Hopefully that won't cost me.

The arm should only be a couple of Bucks.

Double check the plugs under the drivers side of the dash.
