Default 83 944 center console gauges?

mine just decided not to work. i put in a 924 oil pressure gauge and 924 volt gauge (white faced) they worked great. and all of a sudden noda. ive been working out a few electrical grimlims in my car i finally got all three window switches working but now this. i checked clarks. but i dont see anything on the subject.

Missing info my bad - im getting power to the wiring harness input and output. i wanna say faulty wiring harness but idk because i can use another power and ground wire on the harness and my gauges work. and im not sure if there is any relays involved or just fuzes.

thanks

help

3 words, DIGITAL MULTI METER. 3 more words, TEST EACH WIRE. Youll find the problem. Ground sounds like a good start, make sure all connections are clean and to bare metal.
