Bad ground? Plugs not clipped in all the way?
Mine are kinda doing this lately... oil pressure sometimes doesn't work and temp gauges goes wacky.

I just did a 5 speed swap in my Cressida. Got everything figured out on the reverse lockout and backup light wiring. Put it all together and the radio, dome light. clock, and instrument panel lights won't work. I assume its all the same circuit, fuse is good, it's driving me crazy!!!

Fuse would be the first thing. If the battery is connected when doing any kind of electrical work its always possible to short out something and kill the fuse. Good luck.

Check both places. I went out after my last post and discovered a blown fuse in the panel under the hood. It fixed everything. I can't imagine what I would have done to blow it, but it doesn't matter now. Makes me feel kind of dumb to fiddle around under dash pulling fuses and not check the ones under the hood sooner.
