Hmm... sounds like you connected the gray/pink wire to the wrong place.

i followed the the diagram that u sent or someone sent me i forgot , i know i screwed up somewhere ? is there a wire that sends volatge up to the speedometer ? maybe my speedo just went bad ??? how can i check this ?

thanks for your help

Does everything else on the cluster work?

Digital speed and analog speed (needle) are both out?

Well, unless something else got disconnected you may now have a bad cluster.

Did you remove the cluster to install the radio? If you did perhaps one of the locking connectors is not all the way in and locked down.

yeah thats the first thing i checked i was hoping that was the problem but it wasnt all the connections were tight , but when i was checking voltage with my fluke meter some of the wires were reading battery voltage and some wires were not reading at all ? all fuses looks fine too .

i figured it out for some reason the speedo wire to the radio wasnt working correctly ? i dont know why but i tapped into the speedo wire behind the instrument wire and now everything works so for anyone looking for the speedo wire it is pin 13 , blue plug

thank you
