mikaleda Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If the charge light circuit in the cluster isn't connected that can cause your alternator to not charge. The only thing I can think would cause an issue like this is a burnt out cluster or dirty connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikaleda Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Possible its a fuse, but I would think everything would be dead. Couldn't hurt to check your fuses though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikaleda Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I use photobucket, but any picture hosting site will work. Once you upload it to your hosting site copy the image code and paste that in your reply and it will post your pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavekayaker Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'm not 100% sure, but I do not think the 99 cluster is the same as the 97 cluster. I seem to remember 99 being a one year only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic23 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 99 cluster is different. the speedometer plug is different. 99 is a one year only cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) 99 cluster is different. the speedometer plug is different. 99 is a one year only cluster Thus doesn't explain why the original cluster isn't working. I have a feeling something else is wrong. Have you checked all the fuses? Edit. Just reread, sounds like your plug is where the problem is. Was it damaged while pulling the old cluster? Did it click back in completely when reinserted. Edited December 24, 2015 by mikaleda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
