Speedometer and backup camera not working after dash change

Hey guys i'm in need of some help here. My dash was in pretty bad shape and i was able to get my hands on a new one for fairly cheap. I swapped the dash and everything was working perfectly fine before i pulled it off.

My problem now is that the RPM, speedo and gas gauge do not work.

Also when i put the car in reverse i get a blue screen for the backup camera.

Any suggestions? I pulled speedo and AV control unit off again to check the connections and it seems like it's all plugged in. I'm pretty stumped and don't know what to do now

Welcome. It seems simplistic, but are you 100% certain that everything is plugged back in correctly? Is the new dash from the same year and transmission configuration as the one it replaced?

The only wiring that was left on the dash was the antennae which i swapped from my old dash anyway. The rest of the wiring didn't come off with the dash, it stayed on the car.

And yes i'm sure it's plugged in. The speedometer lights up and turns on. I can cycle through the middle screen but the rpm and gas gauge do not work.

Any chance you know where the backup camera wire runs in the car? Maybe i unplugged it somewhere other than from the AV control unit

Do you have the original dash? If so hook it back up and see if everything works. If it does then the new dash is the issue or you have a plug that isn't seated properly.
