Q: Wiring

asked by on October 07, 2017

My instrument cluster lights do not work. The cel and oil lights etc. The charge light comes on, bit that's it. With the key to the on position I know they're all supposed to flash for ~2 seconds but they don't. I already swapped the entire cluster to rule that out. Checked all fuses and grounds and they're good. What would cause this?
My car has a manual transmission.
