Just installed an alternator out of a 89 240sx into my 1997 240sx.

I also installed some new battery terminals.

Now my gauge cluster does not work at all.

The little clock lights up but there is no time. Gauges do not move and lights do not turn on.

Radio lights and such are fine.

Is it something with the alternator?

lemme know

Thanks

Edit: I just checked my tail lights and turn signals and they are out as well.

Edit x2:

Checked my fuses and the main blue 100A fuse in the engine bay was blown. I cant even remove the damn thing... Is this fuse even replaceable?

So I'm assuming the sohc alternator will not work on a dohc?
