I had the same problem when I installed mine, Guy. Do a search for my old thread in Tech and you should find the answer. I have my old instructions saved if you want me to mail them to you as well. Let me know.

I'll try to find the instructions tomorrow, they're at my parents house about 40 mins away from where I live now. PM me your fax number.
From their website:
Q: After I installed the Instrument cluster my alternator won't charge. What did I do or not do for this to happen?
A: When you disconnected the factory cluster the alternator circuit was opened causing the wire that energizes the alternator to be left open. In the instructions there was a special note about how to make sure the alternator would operate. What you will need to do is in the factory wire harness there are 2 wires that need to be jumped. You need to find a 12-volt ignition source and use the jumper wire that was in the electrical hardware bag and jump the 12-volt ign. wire to the Light Green/Red wire. What that will do is it will energize the alternator when the ignition is turned on. That will fix the problem of not having a charging alternator.
