Default gauges don't work

so i twisted my drive shaft a couple months ago. it messed up some things, the tach, speedometer, and fuel gauge. the speed gear is fine, and the fuel pump and fuel pump assembly are new. i dont think it's any fuses. could it just be a relay?

the only wires i can think of in reach of the drive shaft would be the wires on top of the floorboard...

Do the gauges light up but the sweeps dont work? How about interior lights and radio?

The circuit with the interior lights and gauges also has the transmission module on it. Could be possible you fried that and it's messing with the circuit?
