Default Any ideas???

Well, everything with my conversionis complete. I decided to run the F-body gauge cluster for gauges and i hooked it up the the f-body under dash wiring harness. I have quadruple checked all of my grounds and the only thing the cluster does is shwo the service engien soon light. It just blinks fairly quickly. Also, when i connect the battery the needles all jump and then slowly fall down. I can run the motor and none of the guages show anything. Any ideas? I have the primary connector (the one with a bolt to attach it) connected to the under hood harness, i have all of the grounds that i am aware of attached, all of my fuses are good. I have run out of ideas.

Good point...there is an unknown black box on the under dash harness that i am using. I will have to compare the pinouts on it to the manual. See if it is the BCM. If not, i imagine i will have to run with the BCM for the guages to operate correctly?
Thanks
