Default Instrument cluster electrical issues 2001 XK8

Ok, so I was replacing the LED bulbs, following the video posted here and on YouTube. I reconnected everything minus the knee bolster (valet and whatever the other thing is) reconnected the battery to ensure lights are working. Now it says I have no fuel and the low oil and low coolant messages are showing up.

Is it possible i didn't connect the connectors on the motherboard correctly?

I just changed the oil so I know that’s good. I had a half a tank of gas. I have a coolant leak but still had plenty in the system.

Also, and I know this has been addressed here several times. During the oil change I decided to take out the speed sensors and clean them now my ABS light is on. I’m assuming I need new speed sensors?

i hate for this to be my first post but I'm frustrated at the moment and my head hurts.

Thank you in advance.

Is the battery fully charged and did you disconnect it before you started the project?

Abs may just stay lit until you drive a few hundred yards at something like 20mph or above. I've seen it happen each time I connect/ reconnect the speed sensor wires or reset an abs fault. Give it a try, drive her around the block. (BTW its supposed to work this way = normal)

John, perfect thank you. Jags are very new to me and electrical systems drive me crazy at times, lol
