Hmm.. do any gauges light up? Idiot lights? Anything to show signs of what you did, actually working? Before it stopped cranking or after?

Your battery might be dead, too.

I've never had a problem running my car without a cluster, but there is a 10 year difference between our cars. Driving without a speedo is a little difficult, though.

When the car did crank, did the tach move when you were cranking, or was it stationary?

Well problem solved...$25 tow and $85 at the dealership... :?

So yea they like to hide fuses from the world at the factory, it ends up that I had either a blown fuse or a missing fuse that is located tucked deep underneath the dash that I guess the dealer can only find, lol our luck!!! Anywho thanks for all your help. Its incrediable that one little fuse can shut down a whole car!

I'd like to know where that is. I'm not aware of them hiding fuses.

From how it was explained to me is there is 2 fuses located behind the radio somewhere. I guess they control the cars ability to run.

I have one fuse contained in a plastic fuse holder taped to the harness kinda between the radio and the steering column in my 93. I always wondered what it was for. I wonder if this is similar to the one that you blew?

Anything on that 97 harness in the radio area?

Haven't seen one but I'll hobble downstairs and check.
