I pulled the the dash cluster out of my 65 coronet to put the clock block off back in and now my gas and temp gauges are not working ! The other night I was pulling the car in the garage and I turned on the head lights and adjusted the dash lights and the said gauges started to work but when I shut the car off and started it again nothing . I took it apart again today to see if anything was unhooked but all was well except the printed board was not sitting flat against the back of the IP housing so I don't know if this is the issue or what's wrong . I do have another cluster and the printed board is flat on that one not sur if that would cause the gauges not to work.
 
Can you adjust the board to sit properly? I had a similar issue with my cluster and that solved the problem - if I recollect there are ground points - but I added another ground wire for good measure.
 
It acted like it was warped on the top side by the temp gauge.
