I took out my gauge cluster to send it in to repair the broken odometer screen. I don't plan on driving the truck too much without the cluster, just had to get it home. when I started the truck I realized my stereo deck is no longer working. could this be due to not having the gauge cluster plugged in??? already sent in the cluster so I can't just plug it back in to check.

 

Yes, radio needs the cluster to operate.
When my cluster gauges periodically stop working, the radio and windows also die. I need to have my cluster repaired.
Who is repairing your cluster?

 

Yes, the radio will only work along side the cluster. I figured this out when I installed my stereo system.
