Default Installed Vortech today, with Utec, Speedo and Triple gauge not working, Please Help

I just got done with my install, I did the walbro intank, Vortech tuner and a Utec. Now the stock gauges all don't work, they just light up, any ideas?

Please help, this sucks.

Are you talking about the dash gauges, the tripple set or all of them? I would start with checking fuses..

The gauge in the triple does a self check win I turn on the ignition, and the speedo flashes my airbag and rpm or mph and fuel don't work they all just light up. It's seems as though there is no signal going to them. I'm wondering if it was from the used Utec I bought form the forums. Everything plugged back in and I checked the fuses. Car drives fine. I'ma have to pull the Utec tomorrow and go from there.

Does it only happen with the UTEC connected? Make sure it's connected firmly/properly. Sounds like a bad or loose pin/connector on the UTEC.

Just unplug the Utec and reconnect the OEM ECU. If the gauges work then you know where the problem is coming from. Like djamps said make sure the utec is plugged in right.

+1 I think this is the source of your problem.
