ECM relearn
1995 Olds 98
INITIAL ISSUE: all gauges EXCEPT speedometer stopped working.
swapped ECM.
(don’t know if I pulled the “ECM FUSE”)
followed relearn instructions found on Google
dash gauges still not working

A real mechanic wouldn't recommend swapping out a $600 part on a whim.
Verify all grounds and connections are good. ie, friction test on your female connections at the cluster.

yessir all that was done. The ECM is back installed and working properly. I returned the new one and reinstalled the original.

Sounds like a bad connection to the gauge cluster or possibly that the logic board on the gauge cluster has gone bad. I'd start by removing the gauge cluster completely, then reinstalling. If it is a dirty/bad/etc. connection at the back of the gauge cluster, this might fix it.
