Hello I changed my gauges and changed my check engine,oil pressure,water temp,transmission temp to leds instead of the old carver guage with all in one. i cut the wiring harnest from the old guage and wired up the LED's but with the old guage when i turned the key on the buzzer went off and all the lights lit up for like 3 seconds and the check engine light stayed on untill i cranked the engine. But now when i turn the key on the buzzer goes off but no lights will come on. please help!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Try describing with a bit more detail and take one issue at a time. I suspect you got rid of the old analog gauges and used a new 'all-in-one' digital display. LEDs - for the warning lights???

Remember, none of here can look at what you have done...you need to give enough detail so we have a chance of figuring out what went wrong.
 
my old gauge had the warning lights on one guage with a pigtail that pluged in the guage, so i replaced them with LED's and had to cut the pigtail and wire in the LED's now when i turn the key to the on position no light lights up when before with the old guage three lights would light up for like 5 seconds and the check engine light stayed on until i crank the engine. have the signals wires and grounds hooked up to the LED's. Maybe i need to wire in a relay or something. thanks
 
The lights were likely to be 12V; most LEDs turn on with less than 2.0VDC. The are also polarity sensitive. Some OEM's provide them packaged to be used directly in 12VDC applications. Did you install the LEDs accounting for their polarity?
