Wiring is a pain. How many colors do you have? I hope you are writing down what went where.

All of the wires are labeled every 8-10 inches and colored. I have to work one section at a time and if I run into any problems the tech guy is pretty easy going

When I worked in a dealership 40 years ago, they took a Cadillac in on trade that had burnt wiring. The guy that rewired it did it all in red. What a mess.

The gauge cluster comes with a couple of control boxes the need a place to be mounted and wired and has a nice big book of instructions too but it looks easy enough..

I'll take my time like I did on the panel, making it look good is the biggest challenge..
