I put my dash back together and tried to start the car, and all I get is cranking. No power to the guages, and no warning lights come on, even when the key is left in the on position. I am pretty sure I plugged everything back in correctly, but what does it sound like it could be?

 

Double checked every connection and everything is fine, still no warning lights or guages Any help anyone?

 

Check the fuses yet>

 

Yep, 7.5 illumination fuse on the drivers side right? It was good.

 

probibly sensors. use a multimeter on all of em

 

I dont think it is the sensors, I was thinking that there is no power to the instrument cluster and warning light system. I checked the wires from the ignition switch, and all the connections.

 

A day later.. Ive checked everything I can think of and I have spent more time studying wiring diagrams than sleeping.. thinking about getting her towed to a mechanic for a diagnosis, and possible repair, although I really do not want to. Any help at all guys?

 

Personally I'd go to a mechanic after so much effort. Or wait until someone here gives you a good tip before proceeding.

I mean, how much is the mechanic going to charge? How many hours have you worked on it? Do you have a job? Can you work longer hours there instead?
