Gauge screwed?

i took out my gauge cluster so i could put on my indiglos and then when i put it all back together in the car it didn't work properly. The problem is that right before i turn the car over the needle on the speedo moves up to 60km/h. Why would this be and can i fix it?

almost seems like it has a short and is connecting voltage to the speedo section when the car is turned to "on" or acc

well i looked at all the wires and i guess two of them were touching and now they don't work at all. The needles won't move at all. Any thoughts?

Probably killed a fuse.
Move them back to where theyre supposed to be, find the fuse for the cluster and replace it if blown. Give that a shot

is there anyway to fix this problem. i think this is why its not working. One of the bronze pieces that carry the main power throughout the gauges broke and their is a gap between it.

You can try some conductive paint (radio shack might have it), but there is no guarantee that will work.
