Default No Tach or Temp Gauge

Hey Guys,

SO, yah I have a 99z28 collaboration.

2000 PCM/Engine Harness, 01 Z28 underhood harness with a 2000 V6 interior harness,Dash,etc) 2001 Gauge Cluster

Well since I finally put frankenstein together and got her running. Now my RPM and Water Temp gauge are Inop.

I am using a 2001 Gauge Cluster

Any tips/hints or tricks?

BTW, I don't have a good connection on my engine to body ground (didn't think it would matter)

Also, I hear those 4 wires in the back of the drivers side head may be the issue??

Sounds like a ground issue to me. I had a problem 2 weeks ago with te temp guage. cleaned some grounds and then it started working. Im not sure which ground it was. I have a feeling it was the wide flat exposed cooper wire that comes out b/w the power steering and alternator and grounds on the driver side fender behind the radiator.
