you might have knocked something when loose or something when you installed the voltage gauge. did you check the front right turn signal light to make sure it's not out?

no. the gas gauge not working but the rest of the gauges working could be a bad ground problem. the dash turn signal lights are tied into the front turn signal lights and i think if one quit working the light will come on and stay on like you have.

as far as i know the a/c fuse has nothing to do with those things. gas gauge gets its power from the same place as the temp and oil pressure gauge.

maybe the truck had a/c at one point in time. the trucks that have don't have a/c will have a power wire in the a/c fuse hold but that is it.

not quite sure if this is really even relevant but could you have a burned out running or turn signal light on the right side? that happened to me before when my running light was bad.
