Sounds like you had some bad luck. Here is what I think you should do, or what I would do if I was in your situation, and I have been heh.

Unhook your negative from your battery.

Take the wire off from wherever you put it.

Look for and replace any blown fuses/fusible links

Leave the wire off.

Beg borrow steal an ohm meter

Take the bus/second car to a shop and get a manual with a schematic for your car's model and year also and ohm meter if you can't borrow one.

Ohm check your gauge wiring to make sure you didn't create any shorts.

Fix gauge wiring

Find out where said wire really goes.

Re-attach wire

Put negative back on battery

Pray to the car ghods and hope you didn't fry anything like your ECU

Take it out for a short drive around the block to make sure everything is OK. Don't go too far.

Good luck that's all I can think of.

If you didn't blow a fuse, you've got bigger problems
