The easiest for a 12 volt power source is off your stereo. As for the gauges not working, did you remove the needles? I have heard yout not supposed to do that :D

wow, that's really helpful Sunbird_Owner, with information like that those needles will be working again in no time.
I have the same problem, here are a few things i've tried...
(At one point, my needles werent working at all, now they're...sorta... working)
With the car running, i set the speedometer needle to zero, it picked up again and seems relatively accurate.
Same with the tach, while runing i set the needle to about where it was.
Unfortunately my gas sauge is still screwed. (Great mileage though, i've had 3/4 of a tank for over 3 weeks ;))
So, if anyone else has anything constructive to say it would be appreciated!
