Ladies and Gentlemen, the results are in!!

The dash cluster was BAD and not the wiring. I pulled some hairs out trying to figure out where the fault was and in the end, just had to throw some parts at it. Woody was kind enough to help in the adventure and sent me an AUTO cluster which has a low value to test with, just in case it let the smoke out. Well, I plugged the auto cluster in and it immediately worked! So I pulled that out and put the other used cluster I bought in and it works better than the old one. The outside temp readout works now too!!! That never worked and I assumed we didn't have that on our car.



I'm more than thrilled with this as I don't have to chase wiring or a failed computer or something. I have no idea what caused this to happen and will no longer think about it...

Thanks again to WOODY!!! buy your used parts from him. itsnotanova on here.

So does the milage on the new cluster reflect the car's milage or the car that it came out of?
