Please help!
Alright, my jeep has the no bus error on the odometer... All gauges are dead (except oil which moves just a hair)
When I turn the key it runs for about 3 seconds and dies....
The dash around the steering column is already torn apart, I just don't know what to do from here... I know the cluster may have a bad connection... But I've tried to fix them and they don't seem to be helping
Please help me! Thanks!

I know the first thing everybody always suggests is checking the grounds, but this is one of those times where it would actually be the first thing to check.
If you don't have a multi-meter you should borrow one. Check continuity/resistance to a bare metal chassis ground.

There will be a setting called Ohms. (the symbol looks like a horse shoe)
Check the plugs for the leads on the multi-meter. On some meters you need to plug the lead into a different hole to read resistance.
