s14 Speedometer,Tach etc not working

Yesterday I was trying to fix my reverse lights (after 5 speed swap). I heard a pop while moving a few wires and today my speedo, tach, cel lights, temp guage, etc don't work. Any idea how to fix this? I started off by checking some fuses but didnt see any thing labeled that would point me in the right direction.

95 240sx btw

Grab a test light, clamp the wire on a good solid ground, turn the key to on, and start probing the backs of the fuses. There are little metal pieces that stick out of the of blade fuses. Check both sides of the fuses. If one side lights, but the other doesn't, that's a bad fuse.

I bet you popped a fuse, cant remember what amp it is but there should be a fuse for the meter/cluster. My first S14 had an issue with the 12v power going into the back of the cluster, it was grounding out so it would continually pop the fuse. Didnt feel like ripping the whole dash to find it, ended up running another 12v to the wire.
