Default Gauge cluster problem

im doing alot of weight reduction and i started removing wires, so far i have removed the cigarette lighter wires, TCS, Airbag, Ebrake, seatbelt, console light, radio (passenger side only so far with the antenna) and alarm sensor thats above the passenger side rear tire. i plugged my gauge cluster back in and my oil pressure and voltmeter are bother working but no temp and no tach (dont know about speedometer because the car still has no seat in it) i traced the tach signal wire from the cluster all the way to the PCM and its still intact. also traced the grounds and theyre good as well. any ideas?

thought about that but it worked fine before i pulled all of the wiring out, im thinking maybe i stretched a wire and broke the core, getting a multimeter and checking for continuity and volts, anyone know how many volts i should be getting from the 2 pink power wires, the orange one, and the tach signal wire.
