Check your fuses. Your not getting power to the cluster. Its the bottom right fuse labeled gauges. If its good than check power at the fuse. If you have no power than look at my write up " how to fix s13 gauge cluster wiring" its the green wire....always the green wire! Lol.

do this ^ he knows his shiz, just take out the cluster and use a voltmeter to test for power.

ALright so i messed around with it and the fuel works fine now. the backlights also. I havnt tried the speedo yet so not worries about that but the rpms are still not working. and all the fuses are working. You think if i replaced the rpm gauge with the gauge from the soch cluster that it would work?

Which harness are you using, sohc or dohc? Ecu? The reason I ask is because you can use either cluster .....its just a difference. In ecu's and wiring....I can guide you through either setup.
