Check the condition of the yellow/blue wire at the trailing coil connector. The tach signal is yellow/blue all the way to the cluster.

I believe it's the 7.5 amp METER fuse in the fuse box next to the driver's left foot that you should check. It's in the FSM in the BODY ELECTRICAL section.

Yeah the fuses were the first thing I checked. The blue/yellow wire, I found two on one of the connectors for the trailing and another by itself unhooked coming from the harness by the coil. Which one is it?

you are not getting any power to the cluster. The speedo works since it is cable driven.

bad/loose wiring. check the connections on the back of the gauges. they could be loose. if the wire aaron suggested is looking nice and none of the gauges work its something to do with wiring

Thats the next thing I am going to do is tear the dash apart and hunt for bad/loose connections. Has anyone ever heard of the cluster itself going bad?
Mine lights up fine its just the gauges are motionless...
Thanks
