Electrical issue


Replaced a cluster and door speaker today. After everything was buttoned up I lost power to cluster, radio, and I don’t hear the fuel pump kicking on. Car will crank, headlights work as well as interior lights. Before it got dark I was able to check the fuel pump fuse and main fuse, all good. When I did raise the steering column after installation I did accidentally pinch a wire from the ignition harness. Didn’t see any exposed wires. I had power to test the speaker before I closed everything up.Any thoughts before I get after this in the morning?

Check all of your connections, something probably isn't seated all the way.
Check the "room", "engine", or "meter" fuse as well. I can't remember which one it specifically is but on of those will kill the cluster and the ecu power.

Looks like all fuses inside have continuity. Next will be check grounds on the interior.

All signs point to to the 40a B2 underhood fuse. If thats good, unplug the cluster see if that clears up the issue

Try unplugging the cluster and see if you get power back. Need to eliminate it as a variable

Cluster is unplugged still no power. I was testing the ignition plug since I did crush a wire. I’m only getting 12 volts on the circled one with key off.

car did have a turbo timer at one point. Removed the module but wiring is still in place. The car has driven 2-3 times since module removal. I do remember seeing a 4WS light on the dash when testing the speaker, which was new. I’m looking through the greddy manual now.

Turn the key switch on to the last position before the starting position and check for 12v on both sides of the 20A Fuel Pump fuse as well as the 15A Engine fuse.

Also you may as well remove that timer patch harness.

To close out this thread the issue was a loose ground wire and a bad B1 fuse. I guess I was rushing and doing a bunch of other things simultaneously and missed that fuse. Thanks to all for the support, hope this might help someone not make the same mistake as me.
