for the gauge cluster the dimmer switch might be bad. i just bypassed the wires, same with my tails and the little box in the back.

good idea, but we are thinking its a short somewhere, because everything we plugged into it except, a 30amp fuse, it blew.....then it starting smoking a bit, so everything was turned off and pulled out....the cluster is coming out tomorrow, cause thats where it looked like the smoke was coming from....going in to look for burnt wires, but we will find out.
