Boost Gauge fail

So earlier today getting out of my car my boot got caught on some wires for the boost gauge and wideband. I was able to get the wideband to work perfectly fine again, but I can't get the boost gauge to work properly. I have 3 wires that arn't connected. A white one coming from I don't know where. And a green and a red one coming from the gauge. Picture if it helps...
The other wires such as the orange were not connected before and are irrelevant.

I tried giving power to the red wire and it reads -15
If i give power to the red and green it reads 44
If i give power to the red and connect the green and the white it reads -13
I just can't seem to figure out how the hell this thing goes back together, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

So, if the boost gauge is backlit or has a light then one of the wires (probably red) goes to power (possibly siwtched power). One of the wires probably (probably green) is the one that recieves the signal from the MAP to show boost.

Red is power for sure, but and green should be the signal, just can find wtf it's actually supposed to attach to.

Maybe when you knocked the wire off it shorted the guage out.

It's possible. Im sending it all back to them since it has a 1 year warranty on it. but they cant prove that i purchased it since they cant look up anything older than 90 days. I bought the thing 7 months ago, I gave them the ebay number proving i bought it too. They never returned my call when they said they were going to call back today... bleh.
