Description of problem

I have recently just finished a full TJ restore, I removed the Dash as i changed interior colour.

Today i fitted the complete dash to the car and I pluged the instrument cluster and when i started the car the dash lights came on but no guages worked?

what would cause this.?

There is a earth wire behind the cluster attached to the metal frame of the dash im not sure where this attaches to?

Also there is for some reason a loose earth wire that is attached to the fire wall and the it runs from the fire wall to the motor what is this and were does it attach?

I have taken photos of the two earth wire im enquiring about and can email them to you if anyone can help, also i cant work out why the cluster wont work?

But the dash lights come on and stay on even with the H lights off why is that?

Can anyone shed light on this
