Scott,
The resistor in series with the sensor is for cars with 260 deg gauges.
Nothing to do with the lighting.
The construction of the gauge prevents a ground for just the lighting
circuit. My suggestion is to dump the daisy chain and ground each gauge with it's
own ground wire. Mike Drew's suggestion of adding a second ground wire at the
end of the daisy chain might be an easier solution to the problem. You would
do this by finding whichever gauge ground terminal has only one black wire,
then add a wire at that gauge black wire to a good chassis ground. Now all
gauge ground terminals will have two wires attached and the daisy chain will be
grounded at each end.
The reduced current draw of LEDs might also solve the problem.
Have fun,
