gauge cluster not working

[mikey_S13]

ok well thought i could trim plugs and wires without any major issues but of course there are minor issues now and i need help!

first off, i stripped off excess wires/plugs that arent being used..then when i go to plug almost everything back in ( didnt plug in taillights yet) the car starts and lights/blinkers work but guage cluster doesnt work at all.

could i have cut wrong wires?
what should i look at first?

im not much of an electrical genius so bare with me lol

worst case scenario, can i still wire in aftermarket gauges still?

well, to begin with, which gauges dont work? all of them, or just the temp/fuel/rpms/miles? lol

you should download the fsm (factory service manual) and that tells you every single cable in the car, including color and location, and relays. :)

and yes, you can wire in aftermarket gauges.

(someone should post up the fsm links soon :)
