well wat u do is check all ur fuses and shit and if that dont work find all the wires and work ur way back to see if anything is missing
With the speedo check that the cable is in probaly and shit it means pulling the instrument panel out
its like 6 screws on the dash and then four when u have the cover off

The terminal for the temp gauge is under the inlet manifold bassically underneath the thermostat housing, make sure the appropriate wire is plugged on. I cant remember ATM which wire it is, but there will be a group of something like 3 wires in the area underneath the inlet manifold. they all have connectors on them, one goes to the lower side of the block that is most likely for oil pressure or level. One is your temp gauge and the other i cant remember what it's for.
The TX coupe my room-mate just bought had her temp wire disconnected, we found out why after i reconnected it - it overheats like a mother bitch on the highway.
