Gauge Help!!

None of my gauges are working... The lights in the dash come on but I have no readings on any of the gauges....

I know my speedo wont work because Im using a th400 but everything else should be working... To my knowledge the only wires that have been messed with are the ones under the console for the shifter... Would there be any wires under there causing this issue?

Have you tried the obvious... checked the GAUGES fuse?

Well, unfortunately that wasnt the case...
Any other suggestions?
When I turn the key to the "on" position, the oil pressure needle buries past 80 and when its off its in between 40 and 80... not sure if thats helpful information or not but there it is...

Also, my check gauges light and service engine light come on but none of the actual gauges are working...

Anyone?

Had a guy tell me that since I'm using a different computer than what it originally came with, I would need it reflashed to my VIN...
Could this be the cause or would that matter?

I tried putting a set of gauges in from a 99-02 to match the engine harness and computer, still nothing.... Any ideas? What about changing the BCM to 99-02?

The BCM has nothing to do with the gauges (except for a couple of the idiot lights).

I'm not sure but think the gauges for 99-02 won't all work properly in a 98. I can't remember what changed but it seems like there were issues.

I've tried searching for this for 2 days and all I come up with is people repinning the PCM for the 98 Harness... That IS NOT what I'm after.

I've read something about the connectors behind the passenger side kick panel needing repinned to two connectors. 98 has 3 and the 99+ have only 2... Can someone give me the info on how to repin those?
Also the dash connector will need another wire added or something like that... I need to get this done asap so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Ok, so I got the pinouts from a member on here and repinned a few wires on the connectors by the passenger side kick panel.
I got my oil pressure and volts gauges to work, however, I still don't have a reading on my water temp or my RPMs...
Can someone please help me out here. I know someone has the answer
