Default 94 Accord dash gauges not working after new stereo install

I installed an aftermarket pioneer in my 94 accord Ex. Stereo works fine but I noticed my Speedo, tach, temp, fuel AND odometer arent working now. I couldnt find "gauge' fuse so I checked all the fuses (below & under hood) but they're good. I didnt pull anything out b/c the harness adapter was already in, I just hooked up corresponding wires. Oh yeah wipers work but no wiper fluid comes out, not sure if THATS related but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would check the #1 fuse that is a 10 amp in the box under the driver's dash. It is on the bottom row, the left most fuse.

Checked fuse, it was good but I changed it anyway. Problem remains.

Default where to start

I am having the same problem. Where was the short at? I am just trying to find a starting point.

Behind the gauges, in the dash. There are plugs behind the gauges. You have to take that part of the dash out, be careful not to break the clips. Use the Haynes manual for reference.
