Gauges not working after swap
So I swaped the drivetrain and pcm from my wrecked 2000 formula into a 1998 formula body. Everything went well but my gauges will light up but not read anything. Some of the needles peg out in one direction or another and the odometer area lights up but doesn't show any numbers. Is there something else I need to swap? Things I haven't seen a problem with but expect there might be some is the cruise control and traction control. I ran the brake lines for my 4 channel rear end and changed the abs module. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

the 2000 engine wiring has some digital readouts and the 1998 has analog. and the wiring harnesses are setup differently. did you repin the engine harness to match the 98 body harness?

try searching for 99+ guages to 98 body or some variation. there are a few that have done it. theres differences regardless of which variation you take since the 98 was an oddball year.
