If it is just an instrument cluster then you got off lucky.
But then again....you have no idea if its running hot or not do you. Seein as all the gauges are out. Park it till you get your gauges and DIC working.

Well if you knew how much i paid for it you would of bought it too. It isnt just the instrument cluster, theres more to it then that. But im slowly eliminating things it could be.

Well i did some work to it today. We changed the battery termianl bolts and put brand new ones in, We checked 3 grounds under the hood, one to the fuse box and the two main battery grounds, we wire brushed them and put dielector grease on them. We also did the same for the two grounds under the back seat.
When we were checking the grounds under the back seat we noticed that a green wire seemed like it had burned and was no longer connected to anything, and an orange with white wire had been cut. Any ideas what they go to? Where could i get an interior wiring diagram? Could the problems be because of an ignition switch?

Yesterday I found and fixed the problem. Apparently someone who previously owned this car put too big of a fuse in the IGN O-BODY slot in the back fuse block and it partially burned a wire out of the insulation. Once I hooked a jumper wire from the fuse block the the good part of the wire everything turned on and the car works like new. I appreciate everyone's input on helping me solve this problem. I was really excited when I found it was just a burnt wire and not a bad computer or cluster.
