Default Issues with wiring on turn signals

I am trying to figure out a wiring issue on my Jeep Cherokee Sport. I removed my dash in order to get to my heater core to replace it. After i put everything back together i noticed that my speedometer and my fuel level filter were not working as well as my rpm meter. I checked to make sure that my gauge cluster was in fact connected and then restarted my car. When i went to drive i found that i had no turn signals and the gauges still were not responding. Over a period of tries i have tried to get my gauges to respond with no avail. Sometimes my rpm meter will work. sometimes my fuel gauge will work. Both of them typically at the same time. However, I still cannot get my speedometer to respond or my turn signals. Is it possible i pulled out a wire when removing the dash? Did I possibly short a fuse? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Yep. I think you'll need to pull it apart and check your work. I know. Not fun!

Yes, that's also possible. Any time you are working on something like that you should disconnect the battery (ground lead first!) to protect against such mishaps.

Did you check them yet? Check the PDC, as well. (That's the black box near the battery. It's got fuses and relays in it.)
