Default Tachometer/Voltometer not working

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and need some help.
I have an '04 and was trying to install a raptor shift light. I was using the instrument cluster wiring harness for finding the tach wire, and the pink wire for 12v power.

Well, half way through I'm testing for the correct white wire (tach wire) and my tachometer and voltometer stop working. I'm not tech savy with the Z at all, or most cars for that matter.

My question is, since the tach and voltometer went out at the same time am I looking at a blown fuse? If so does anyone know if the voltometer and tach are on the same fuse and where I'd look (passenger floor or by fuse box next to battery). Maybe it's not even a fuse problem but I sure as hell hope it is. I realize I'm getting very specific and this is not a typical problem most would have a solution for, but after reading quite a few threads the members here are very knowledgeable.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Found the problem. Was a fuse, #19 labeled "IPC" on the passenger fuse box. Just fyi in case any of you have this happen to you, which it probably won't.
