Have you checked the electrical ignition switch on the column?
They have a very high failure rate

Is it still off when you turn the park lights on?

Have you had the radio out or moved lately?

here's what happened. I got the car and the gauges worked. I could see that they worked with the sun on them.the dash lights themselves ( the lights that show up behind the gauges)were not working though. I started to trace them down and found that they had fried a wire.. and it was missing a relay. Now I got the lights fixed but my gauges are dead. i have no reading on them at all.
is there some sort of relay for them as well?

I would check the connector curcit board or what ever its called on the back of the cluster. They commonly go bad.

yeah sounded out each wire to find that 3 out of four just on the tach only were broken right at the connector pins. No way to fix them tried and ended up ripping the ribbon off back of tach.
No I have to hope I can find a good set of gauges. Or can someone help me with step by step directions to get buttstuffog stuff in my car.

i am running to the yard tomorrow. let me see what I find and i'll let you know. I don't need this right away as I have a daily driver.. this is my project car. Not sure if I want to tackle the whole electrical thing. I know from posts I have read that the fuel sending unit does not work with anything else but the digital dash. so that means I have to swap out the fuel sending unit. uggggghhh I just filled it up with gas before I parked it...
