DASH CHANGE, WON'T START

[mareospeedwagon]

I RECENTLY CHANGED OUT MY DASH FOR A SOLID BLACK ONE. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT UP IT WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. THE THEFT LIGHT FLASHED. I TRACED ALL THE LINES AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. I USED THE FUEL PUMP RESET. NOW I HAVE NO INT. POWER AND IT WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. MY GUAGES WORK AND DUMMY LIGHTS FLASH, NO THEFT LIGHT NO THO. WHAT THE $#@% IS GOING ON?

If you changed the instrument cluster, you need to switch the chip out of your old one to the new cluster. The veh won't start without the same chip. This is how the PATS works.

I hope you saved it if that is the case.

THE CLUSTER IS THE SAME, IT IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY THING THAT GETS POWER BESIDES THE HORN, IT WAS JUST THE DASH AND THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CHANGED, AND THEY WERE BOTH FROM A 1998 GT

I assume you checked all fuses. If so, the new harness may be damaged or shorted if you don't have int. power.
