Hey guys I am having a problem with my dash cluster on my s14. The other day I got in my car and went to turn it on and none of the gauges would move. All the gauges lit up perfectly when I turned the headlights on but the temp gauge was stuck all the way down, RPM gauge stuck at the bottom, speedometer stuck at the bottom, Gas gauge all the way at the top, and the odometer wouldnt go up. all the fuses are all good and everything. Also took the dash out and everything is connected back there. Ive searched and searched and cant find any answers. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

If your fuses are good, then you have a bad ground.

Had to look at the FSM to be %100 sure.

Check the M5 ground on the chassis. The answer to your problems is within this picture.
