F Body Dash cluster swap, warning lights staying on I swapped a 5.3/4L80E into my 88 Mustang along with a F body dash cluster. The gauges work great but the warning lights stay on (brake, ABS, etc) Is this something that is in the wiring or in the PCM?

All of the above modules svc lights communicate with the cluster. Therefore lack of those modules being installed causes the lamps to illuminate including airbag.
If you take the lens off the cluster you can carefully cut 3m super 88 or 33 electrical tape and cover up the indicator then reinstall the lens and you will not be able to see any shine through it sounds half assed but there is no other way to turn them off or disable them.

I called the guys at www.gmgaugeguy.com and spoke with them. For $50 they said they could go in and remove power to those lights, problem solved.
