Instrument Cluster Not Working
Alright, so I was doing the doorless mod and was successful but when I went to test drive my instrument cluster was no longer working. Here's what I have tried.
cleaned battery connections
tried different battery
cleaned cluster connections
used the trip button to reset
checked fuse #12 passenger side
It's a '99. One thing that comes to mind is that i jumped a connection when removing plugs. It still starts and runs fine but the oil pressure, temp, gas, voltage, tach, and speedo do not turn on. Needless to say I'm stumped.

Did you try pulling the connectors loose from the dash and plugging them into the cluster so you can wiggle them? I had to shim mine in their mounting slots to get them to connect properly.

Check fuse #9 on the passenger side (JB). This is for the instrument cluster. The IOD fuse in the PDC also powers the instrument cluster.
