So I swapped my '95 TSi AWD's interior from the brownish interior it had to black and tan. Specifically the dash has been in and out a few times. First to swap, then to remove the heater core and fan(s), then to remove the rest of the ducting.
The cluster lights turn on, the fuel and oil pressure gauge work..but that's about it. The tach seems to move maybe a millimeter when I turn the car on but it's limited to that. The speedometer doesn't work, nor does coolant/engine temp. or boost. I find this odd and confusing as it worked before I took the cluster out even AFTER I did the dash swap.
I've since pulled the cluster and put it back in to see if that would help make sure the contacts were all correctly touching with zero luck.
If anyone has any useful idea I would greatly appreciate some input on what to try.
Thanks,
Chayce.
Edit:
After doing some looking around I found a plug that was just chilling behind where the radio goes. It made everything work correctly but the oil pressure gauge as well as the speedometer seems to work on part of the time. It could be the cluster is loose as I do not have it screwed all the way in.
