the yellow plug is for srs, you should have a yellow connector for it. plug the other two wire ends into their respective places, make sure theyre connected securely. fyi- you can put your odometer/speedometer into that cluster to retain accurate mileage

that plug is for abs, which i dont think you have. unless you yanked on the harness or have some other wiring issue, the cluster is faulty.

The lights come on on the cluster accept half of the tachometer gauge,
Could the thing down the bottem left on the second pic be a possible fault?

i didnt notice that, that is almost certainly your problem. those copper leads are the circuitry for the cluster, those two are shot.

good idea. the screw is probably why your tach doesnt work.

Yes they look bad (the power + and - trace might be broken). If the temperature gauge don't work, you can jumper the temp + to the tach. + and the temp - to the tach -.

The right indicator doesn't work, nor does the tachometer itself lol.
Taking it back for a replacement
