Gauge Cluster no longer works after turn signal install

Hey all,

I recently installed new mirrors on my 98 VFR800, the mirrors have turn signals attached so I decided to hook those up.  After wiring them to the indicator wires and cutting off the old harness, my gauge cluster no longer works--Speedometer, tachometer, odometer, headlights, taillights.  However, my clock still works and the blinkers/blinker indicators on the cluster work.  I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on.  The fuses are all fine* Does anyone have any thoughts? I also tried rewiring it to the old harness and the problem still persists.

A bad ground comes to mind.  It could be the one thing in common (no pun intended) between all the things that are not working.  IIRC there's a 5th gen wiring diagram in the downloads section that might help.
