98 Expy, Cluster wont work
a day ago i washed the car, and by hand and moist cloth took the dirt and debris to make it look cleaner den before.\
then since i had bottle of armor all laying around i decided to apply it on. i did so but never sprayed in the engine compartment. day later the cluster wont do nothin. doesnt indicate anything,speed, gas, oil or nothin. its a analog cluster, only lights that come on are seat belts and battery light.
expy has no diffucult turning over. just thats what wont turn on or nothing.
any help?
already checked fuses 2, 12, 18, 19 and 21. all r good.

They're talking about the big wire connectors attached to the fuse box under the dash. It's been a while so I could be wrong, but I believe you unscrew the 10mm bolt in the center of each connector and it will separate itself for you.
FYI - the GEM is attached to the back of the fuse box in case you weren't sure.

It's the one under the dash, and yes you have to remove the lower part of the dash to access it. The hood and brake handles are held to the dash with 2 screws each the ones that are easy to see in the front then there are also ones underneath the handles that are difficult to see. Keep in mind that I was guessing at your problem given the info you gave me, as a possible cause, it may not necessarily be the problem. The GEM is not a cheap item to replace, the cheapest I've seen them is on ebay for around $275.00 at the dealership they're closer to $500.00. Prior to going to this much expense and trouble (because they are kind of a bugger to remove) you might make certain that it's the GEM for sure.
