Problem Solved! Thanks to everyone who replied to my post and tried to help. Denny thank you so much for trying to troubleshoot by email. I checked all of the wiring and it was correct.

Turned out to be a broken wire at the gauge. lt1s10 got me thinking when he said dead short. I have no idea how the wire broke, since I never messed with the gauges when I installed the disconnect. Oh well, prblem solved and thank goodness it didn't end up costing any thing but time and aggravation.

Thanks again for EVEYONE'S help!
