Dash Instruments

I took the Dash out to change the bulbs, but now my Diesel and Oil temperate guages moves all the way to the right once I start the truck. Does anyone knows what the problem is?

Did you disconnect any wires? Did you do anything to the instrument voltage regulator?

Didn't do anything to it, just replaced some the burned out bulbs, and reconnected and resintalled. If I turn the lights on it goes all the way to the right, if the are off it goes to the left.
