Icon2 cluster guages dont work! any insight/suggestions?

So i recently installed a turbo, including guages and all that in my eg hatch. After installing everything, the guage cluster dials- speedo, tach, etc. didnt work. i stuck a fuse in where the running light one goes and everything worked.. however the whole time i had the hazard light harness unplugged. i went and got the car tuned and now they dont work again... and i cant figure out why

i checked all the fuses none are blown... i plugged the hazard harness back in. the lights and everything on the cluster work, just the dials sit at zero and dont move. any thoughts on how i could fix this? I looked at other threads but i still cant figure it out. i know my vss works cuz my two-step works... im just not really familiar with how things are wired and what could be the issue.

thanks for any input.

Back up not hazards - do the turn signals work?

yeah the turn signals work too. alsot dont have a clock plugged in, but since everything worked fine before when i didnt have one i dont think that should be an issue

Voltage for the gauges reaches the cluster on a yellow wire that pins to A3. Does that wire have voltage to body ground with the key in ON(II)? If so, the cluster is bad.

Several connectors plug into the rear of the cluster. The yellow wire can be found in cluster connector A at position A3.
