so i have had some wiring problems for quite awhile and due to lack of funds i need to figure this out myself, i done alot of research with no luck of finding the problem i have a 95 s14 with a 94-96 s14 sr20det with a red wc ecu, engine was last running in june or july but wont start now but that is the least of my worries at this point the big issue is that nothing on my cluster works at all tac, speed-o, ect... also the lights for the cluster dont come on till you hit the brakes. every thing was working fine about a year ago besides the lights when i had a local shop do my electrical i stored the car for the winter and when i brought it back out in the spring all theese problems came up. many people have told me short to ground or just a bad ground. first off i ran new grounds from the ecu and interror fuse box directly to the battery, and i have resently pulled out the dash to get at all the wires and pulled out all the wires to the fues box in the engine bay. all wires are clean un nicked or cut. and i also bought a s14 silvia cluster {km} and nothing has changed im running out of ideas to get this fixed any help or ideas could help me out alot!

Back to basics my man. You need to get your hands on the FSM for the SR20, google search is how i got mine, and inspect these circuits per the FSM diagrams. It was just in storage so can't be too bad. Unless someone here has had same exact issue, but I doubt it. Post your solution too, it always helps.

Are you using the old battery, or did you buy a new one?
