Is it possible my gauges don't work?

I've had reverse indiglos sitting in my garage for the past 7 months. Today i actually tried connecting them but they wont light up. Is it possible the power supply for them is out b/c they've just been sitting around so long?

Not really, there is probably a wiring issue. Did you just try hooking them up before installing them to see if they work?

If they are installed, you may have tapped into the wrong wire in the wiring harness behind the instrument cluster!

get a good ground and a good power source and try it that way. (like right off the battery). if you have the gauges installed the power comes from the back side of the drivers side fuse panel. # 3 fuse location.
