does the 5-speed gauge cluster go straight into a auto car
without any issues?
the reason i am asking is b/c we just did a auto to 5-speed swap

and the car is acting really weird, like when the lights are turned on the car dies, they battery is only pulling 10volts, but if we remove the battery cables the car still runs with the lights off, but the car dies when you turn the lights on, and when they come on they are very very dim

what could be causing this issue?

thanks
