Default 1982 Gauge and radio problem

I please need to know how the wiring harness fits back into the gauge cluster of my 1982 Corvette. The female end fits both ways. I put my repaired radio back in the dash but the gauges do not work. The fuses are good. The gauges worked before reinstalling the radio. I suspect a ground problem or an improper connection. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. The diagram is just what I needed. I have the harness plug in correctly, but the gauges still will not work. The radio also works, but I do not have the gauge bezel entirelty back in the dash and the radio is just loosley in the bezel. Since the bezel is plastic, I do not think the grounding problem is caused by that. Any ideas.

UPDATE: Had a blown fuse and a loose ground wire. All is well.
