Default Instrument cluster issues

Ok so I had a 2001 ws6 took the motor An harness out of the car car got totaled. I bought a 1998 camaro v6 car swapped a 98 ls cluster in the car but I don't have a odometer or voltage gauge. I know the cluster works and it does light up can anyone point me in the direction of what the issue is. Motor or pcm is not in the car yet if that matters. Thanks

I believe the odometer is controlled by the PCM, so that may explain that. The voltmeter also looks to use a ground supplied by the PCM. Probably wouldn't hurt to check for power at the 10A gage fuse in the IP fuse block.

Odometer wont work without the PCM I dont believe even though the miles are stored in the cluster and not the pcm
