so your playing around with your car.. while leaving power on? and plugging/ unpluging parts?

wondering have you d/c the airbag fuse? also may have done the circuit board but maybe a ecu reset also? i would d/c battery and press brake a few times.. get all the power outta the car.. then put it all back together (just plug cluster in and put in place, no bolts and no need for surround).. then put steering wheel and anything else you've tken off

then connect battery and give it another go.. next time disconnect the battery and drain any remaining power before working on parts that use electricity

typically i would disconnect power before unplgging anything, however with the leds in the cluster, they have a certain polarity, and if the polarity is wrong they wont work, so i left power on in this case to test whether i had installed the leds corrctly or if i needed to rotate their sockets..

i have tried resetting the ecu and then reinstalling the cluster but it still just makes a constant beeping noise and none of the needles move, lights all work though..

what a cluster f*$k..
