A Little Confusion
 

Soooo, my speedometer was not working and I swapped in a new cluster whichworks. When I start the car the speedometer immediately sits at about 13km/h so its way off of calibration, which I can deal with considering my old one didnt work at all, as long as I can figure out how much its off exactly. Anyways now the cruise control does not work which leaves me a bit confused. Before the cruise would only work if the speedo read speed, now its reading it and the cruise on button lights up on the bezel but when I push the button on the steering wheel nothing lights up in the cluster nor does it work. I switched the speedo head back into the old cluster and the cruise still does not work. If anyone has any idea of what this could be I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Is there anything that you may have done that you left out?

I dont think, i still havent put it back together completely just in case you guys gave me some suggestions. Thanks for the input though.

out of curiousity does your horn still work? Just checking to see if your clock spring is still good.

Yup horn still works, put it all back together still the same :( what can ya do! cant win em all

sounds like there could be a short in one of the switches . Most of the stuff in the gauge cluster area of your dash is interconnected wiring wise. I had a shorted turn signal switch that would take out the lights on the cluster. Affect brake lights and cause other anomalies. I suggest you start testing for shorts.

I also had the same thing happen about a couple weeks ago during a spurt of cold weather.
Shortened wire caused alot of problems.
Also happened once before when I switched to a injen gauge cluster. Also if you have tinkered w/ the ecu any there is a green rpm wire not sure of exact location but when that shorted out my speedo and a majority of gauges went nuts.
