Troy:
Most likely, just a coincidence. This happens quite often when working under
the dash. The light sockets sometimes get pulled out of their holders, and the
connectors get pulled loose from all the pushing and pulling going on while
doing the other work under there.
The lights are on a different circuit than the turn signals, horn, etc. Since
the other gauge lights work, it is safe to assume that you have power to and
from the dash light dimmer, so the problem is in the immediate area of the
tach/speedo. Check the lights to be sure they are fully inserted, and check
the red/white wires and their connectors. One of these two items will surely
fix your problem. If not, let me know, and we will try again.
