Hello,

It looks like you might have a fuse out because it takes two to run the cluster and tach. Here is a cluster wiring diagram and a guide to help you check for power and ground and also a signal from the cruise control which is where the tach gets its signal from.

and

Here is the fuse location.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers
