Woot Woot!! She Runs Again!!!

Well, after 2+ long, boring months, she runs again. If you recall, the tranny blew on my '90 GXL, and being that I plan on autocrossing the car, why not put in a TII tranny? Well, after said time and $1k, I now have a TII tranny in said car. Now, the only problem is, I had to make the wiring harness fit the TII trans, and when I shifted into 5th gear on the way home, the gague cluster (except the speedo) died and went to zero. Also, the seat belts (retractable) stayed in the forward position when I closed the door, yet would retract back to this postiton any time the door was opened. Any help on this topic is appreciated.

Second on my to-do list, review the Racing Beat steel flywheel. All I can say is: AWSOME. Not too light to keep you from taking off from a dead stop, but light enough to give you the zingy feel of the extra HP making it to the rear wheels. Over all, I give this purchase a 10/10. Also, I am running a stock TII clutch & PP.

Thirdly, the TII trans is a very nice addition to this car, and I hope the TII rear end will be on the list of things to come eventually (I'm bloody broke right now ). Anyways, I just felt that announcing the return of my little car was very important (to me, anyways). Thanks all for the help along the way!

Are they still that way? If so you might have blown a fuse.

I believe the "Body Fuse (7.5A) controls the gauge cluster. It's located in the kick panel fuse box.

What fuse do I have to replace to make a TII engine appear in my engine bay, complete with FMIC and GT40RBB?

Thanks for the help. Too late and too cold to go check it now, gonna have to wait for morning. Also, I think it takes more than a fuse to get a TII engine with all the add-ons in the engine bay. I think you also need a resistor in one of the lines somewhere...
