Instrument Cluster and Overhead Dead after Headliner Replacement.
After installing a new headliner today I find that my instrument cluster and overhead computer are not working, the miles read out is working.
No time to work on this today and will check fuses tomorrow but I wanted to check in and see if there was any tribal knowledge out there, perhaps disconnecting the overhead computer caused the problem or I need to reset something?

Problem solved.
After confirming the issue was not fuse related I decided to take the overhead console back down and disconnect the wiring, I had been driving for a week or so with out the console installed and the instrument cluster was working as it should. Console plugs disconnected, Instrument cluster works!
My mistake and what caused this issue was improper connection of the overhead computer plug, it is a straight pin plug and I missed one of the pins. The angle and plastic covering the made it hard to see all of the connection pins, none the less my fault.
Everything plugged in and working.
