Guages not working, Please Help

[rsmith31744]

I recently bought a 1990 N/A Z32, that had been sitting for several years ( I got a CRACKHEAD deal on it). After doing a tune up and oil change the car runs pretty good. it has a few minor issues, but the main one that is bugging me is:------ Almost nothing electrical inside the passenger compartment works. NO GUAGES, NO RADIO (the radio is a cheapo aftermarket piece of junk) NO A/C, NO CRUISE CONTROL.

A buddy of mine said that there is a computer that controls all of that, and that's probably what's wrong, and its a common problem. If it is that computer, what is the actual name of it , and where is it located? So I can replace it.

Thank you in advance for any help

I think I would be looking at a possible grounding issue. I know the radio is not controlled by a computer, it draws power via the fuse block and grounds behind the dash. Look for the simple things before you go replacing computers.Gauges get input from the ECM under the passenger side floor mat, but Im pretty sure it wouldnt run if that was bad as it also controls every thing engine related as well...

I found out that the radio has power to it, it's just an old piece of junk. I found a couple bad fuses, now the only things still not working are the gages and cruise control
