HELP Instrument Panel Lights?

%$#@%@ OK I pulled the switch, cleaned the connectors again and put a lite cote of conductive grease on the spade connectors. The beige wire on the back of the switch now has power and so does the first fuse. However my temp and fuel gauge still max out and my directional arrows come on in the dash. The tester light gets dim or bright depending on which way I'm turning the knob so it seems to work right. I have no idea how this is effecting my gauges? I HATE WIRING! pheeeeeew
