Gauges going all the way on startup + smoke

If the IVR / instrument cluster is not grounded the IVR provided 12 bolts to the gauges.

The smoke MIGHT have been damage but not total failure of the gauges. Only time will tell.

Watch! (Man I love these videos)

I will check the ground, it was there last time I saw it because I installed this dash around 3 weeks ago and the car was working fine, I use it most week days to go to work. I had not notice this behavior before, but will check first the three regulator connections before ordering the replacement part.
