Here is what I know, your truck may vary.

The fuse should be fuse 19 under the dash for the unit. It may also draw off fuse 2 or fues 16.

The Fuel Sender is the Yellow/White Striped line.
The Interior Light is the Black/Lite Blue (if equiped).
The Map Light power is on Lite Green/Yellow.
The Lights for the display ar on Pink/Orange wires.

There should be at least two other wires which are the Speed Sensor and the power for the unit itself, maybe 3 depending on which unit you have.

Hope that helps.

A common problem with those is two little resistors on the circuit board will pop off. It happend to me. I took the cluster apart and resoldered them and it works fine.

Same thing that Spirit615 had happen. I took out the circuit board and had a TV repair shop solder the little things back down for $20.
Try a search, one of the guys showed how to get the console down and board out.

Amiller thanks for the link to Mods, I didn't know about it.

The problem with my board was the little black chips with the 620 imprint, the TV repair shop did however re-solder the others as a precaution and do a continuity test.
