Oh that's right the connector. ?? What is this connector? Is there one conn that if bad connection kills every gauge from working? Or would a fusable link be more probable? Is there one link that feeds the cluster?

Bad ignition switch? Take a meter and check if you have power at the instrumentation fuse with the key on.

Rob make sure there is no corrosion on the big fat plug that goes into the back of your gauge cluster. they like to oxidize real bad when they just sit for awhile.
Yeah there's a big plug on the back that's corroded. I know mine is, every now and then all of my gauges will die and I reach through the steering wheel and punch the clear plastic in front of the gauge cluster and they come back. It may take a few hits and don't hit it hard enough to break the plastic, but that's a good way to test.

pulled the cluster and the plug and connectors looked perfect. I need a wiring scheme if anyones got one?
Oh and found a "gauges" fuse on the box rated 7.5a. 11.6v to it no prob and fuse looks fine. Is there a differs fuse also maybe?

Yeah, the gauges fuse was the one I was referring to. It feeds pin 6 on the connector at the dash.
