Does the speedo work?

Check for trouble codes, might just be a connection problem, if so the KOEO (Key On, Engine Off) test should fail. Computer may or may not have any, if not I'm thinking PSOM.

If you have a donor swap the one from it in and see if that corrects the problem, that is if testing gives you nothing to go on.

Sorry didn't realize you responded asking where the PSOM was located.

Its directly behind the speedo, it is the speedo, if you're still around and need it let me/us know and will post pictures of it.
I got one around here someplace, I'll dig it up and take pictures of it if you'd like me to.

I think "Subford" has pictures on file ready to go? maybe he'd post some for ya? or anyone else has em handy....
