Re: Need Dash Help!!!!!!!!

VATS and ECM have nothing to do with your dash, fortunately.
All your signals come in through the bulkhead connector C100.
As long as you kept the stock sensors and hooked them up right, the gauges should read right. But since you say you don't even see the voltage gauge register, I'd say you either have a bad GAUGES fuse or a bad ground.

Here's the pinout for the 90-92 gauge cluster:

And here's the pinout for the 1992 C100:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the Help.
I had a ground that was not connected. I had to remove the entire dash to find it. every thing works now I gut have not driven it yet need to reinstall the dash, I did a check by holding the connectors to the gauges and had my son start the car. the instrument cluster connectors that are linked above, did not match mine on the drives side. they are reversed. 1-7 match 8-14 and vice a verso., have you seen this before? I new that the cluster was not bad because it worked prior to doing the swap.
thanks for your help agine.
