    Help! Half my instrument cluster went out!!

    Ok I mentioned before I am no good at wiring and it bit me this time, I pulled 4lb's of wires out of the dash, mainly a/c and radio out of my 2000. However the tach, water temp, and oil psi are no longer working. I have been searching for hours for a good schematic. I've been trouble shooting this all day and have come up with nothing, all the other guages work on it. If anybody has a source for a good diagram please let me know, Thanks!

    I honestly didn't check all the fuses, I was just afraid I clipped the wrong wires so spent most of the time tracing the harness. I'll start fresh tomorrow and look it over. Kinda thinking about switching to all auto meter guages if its the cluster that's screwed up.

    Ok all fuses are fine, seamingly has power everywhere it needs it, the oil psi is working so just the tach and h2o temp are now what I'm confused on. I'm wondering if I have a problem in the cluster itself now but it is odd that it was all of a sudden. The tach wire is showing 5-6v at idle, wondering if that sounds right.
