Default Gauge cluster went need help fast

My 1990 CRX Gauge cluster went out also my turn signals, and reverse lights. None of my fuses are blown it has an LS swap in it. Is it something in the wiring or what I Would appreciate any help I can get surely someone has had thesame problem before.

Thanks

you missed a ground wire.. or it came loose. Nothing causes widespread electrical failure better than a bad ground.

my guess is you either missed the ground on the thermostat housing or the engine ground on the valve cover..

yeah, if another existing ground went bad somewhere else and the system no longer has a good ground.. also, the lack of a ground could have fried all of that stuff over a period of time. that scenario is somewhat unlikely though. i would install all the ground wires according to the EF manual, and then re-evaluate the situation. you can make ground wires for cheap, and if it saves you haveing to get a different cluster and all that, it will be worth it.
