Default Gauges not working!

Hey I just got a gauge cluster off eBay. It's a stock cluster for a stick. Hooked it up and nothing is working on it. Any ideas what it could be. What fuses control the gauges?
Thanks

Nevermind I found the meter fuse was blown. But my fuel gauge is stuck on 3/4 tank and it stays even after the car is shut off? Any ideas?

Is your tank not 3/4 full? The fuel gauge is designed to stay at the last reading while the key is off.

If it is not correct for the amount of fuel in the tank, go back to the tank and unplug the sending unit, then turn the key on and the gauge should go to empty.
