Question R380 Reverse Light switch - dash gauges not working

Hi,

I replaced my Reverse light switch on my Manual transmission R380 Discovery (boy was that ever a PITA!) and realized recently that I did not properly tighten it, as I finally saw where some fluid was leaking from on the driveway... traced it to the switch, and realize I may be a little low on transmission fluid now

I attempted to tighten the reverse light switch today, and ended up breaking one of the wires, so no reverse at all. Now I need to get a replacement switch yet again!

Anyways, upon going for a drive today, I quickly realized that my Speedo, RPM, and temp gauges are not registering anything! They all sit at zero... what else did I screw up today that would cause that?

Thank you

Check F14 in the under dash fuse box.
