Digital Speedo/ODO not working

Just replaced my gauge faces with some yellow ones. Plugged everything back in, now the digital speedo does not work, along with the ODO. Reset the computer with an OBD2, still the same problem. Thanks in advance

Unplug and replug in the three connectors. What you are describing happens when a plug is not seated properly. Same thing happened to me and others.

It works! Turns out that the plug for the ODO was not seated correctly. After 3 times of trying the speedo, it still didn't work, so we checked the bulb. Turns out that the filament was damaged. Probably happened when I took the cluster apart. Replaced the bulb, and everything is working great again! Thanks again
