Cool A work in progress . Need help.

Ok
I am still working out some kinks on my 92 f150 strt 6 with a manual tranny.
She was having an idle issue that is some what fixed at least i hope so. But now i was did the re brakes which i think even some of the veteran wrenches would step back and go wow what happened here. Back to the point ,I was installing a set of hella 500's and every thing worked good, so I started on a set of hell cats in the grill all running inline fuses and diodes. I buttoned everything up and started the truck and now the oil pressure gauge ,temp. gauge are pegged out and are worse when i turn on the head lights , so i unhooked everything and its still doing it. I'm lost and its so freaking hot here today I just gave up and decided to see if any of you out there had some ideas for me .
btw i checked all my fuses and all ok.

thanks, Red

maybe you grounded something on accident - that would be my first guess.

Did you run switches into the vehicle or tie into existing lighting?

Could be a ground problem. If a ground connection is weak when you really put a load on it you can lose it all together . Check all ground wires battery to cab and motor and motor to cab and frame. Hopefully a easy fix.
