Gauge Problem Help Help Help

[GT*star]

right story goes

radio started makin funny sounds one day so I pulled it out

put it back in everything seemed fine

had the turbo timer running, but wanted to drive b4 it was done so i put the keys in the ignition but turned them over ever so slightly too much and heard a horrible little cranking sound

the whole car DIED cudnt get a spark or anything, after a few moments the electrics came back and teh gauges lit up (ractive gauges, volt and boost)
car still didnt start,
touched the terminals on the battery and the car started but the gauges were no longer working

now im not sure where the 12v wire is connected

the yellow wire is going to the back of the turbo timer tho

feel bad for you and wish i could help mate. Did u install/meddle on any wires prior to starting the car that day?

Check for any breaks in the wires that might earth, if you find any insulate them and then look for blown fuses ...you should find one.

Try it then
