Default 2 problems with an EK

Okay all start with the high idle problem. It is similar to many that I have read but it sometimes idles nomal around 800. Now comes the other problem, my gauge cluster's light stopped working. The wierd thing is that only the the gauges went out the turn signal, brights, etc. all work. I have already checked the fuse it was fine. Then I took my cluster a part and found a burnt bulb and replaced it, but it did not fix the problem. I also plugged in my stock gauge cluster back in and it also did not work. So I think the problem might be in the harnesses but I have not gone as far as to check that. So if any one could help out it would be greatly appciated.

Ok, so what exactly is NOT working on the gauge cluster?

I read that several times and still not able to figure out exactly what the problem is.

Please rephrase...

For the guages, check the fuse. There is a little 7.5 amper under the dash that is easy as hell to blow.
I blew that little sucker 4 times when I screwed up my radio harness...long story.

No A/C....gotta read that part.

Er already checked the fuse........next step is a voltmeter and check the lines.
