as to which computer controls the dash cluster? I had the dash apart replacing some parts on the havc system and decided to plug the speedo back in and take the car out for a spin to test everything out, but with the dash still out of the car. Needless to say I hit a bump in the road and (im assuming) shorted the cluster out against the metal cross beam behind it. Now my speedometer, tachometer, coolant temp., and fuel gauges dont work and on top of that i am getting a 'vehicle speed sensor' check engine code. I hit the junkyard and got a new cluster and two speed sensors and hooked them up and still nothing. My last guess is that it is something in the computer that i messed up. Any advice or other guesses would be appreciated! Thanks
