ok i was in the progress of doing my wire tuck and turbo swap and im putting my dash back on and when i checked to see if the lights work before everything was on the cluster does not work or windows the interior lights work and all. i still have some connecters not connected in the engine bay like sensors but i dont think that has to do with this problem and i already checked my fuses. What should I Do???

Simple, either a) you blew a fuse, b) you didnt plug something that should be, or c) you left one or more ground banks undone when you did your wire tuck. C is a common issue with people who have done a wire tuck, so I would lean more towards c.Originally posted by flashbycb7 View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129 -
ground banks are you referring to something being grounded because im pretty sure everything is grounded correctly becasue my car starts and everything else is working but those 2 things.Comment

well lets put it this way, when you do a wire tuck on the passenger side and forget to re-ground the ground bank thats under the battery box, the car starts and everything works, but the lights. Just because a ground bank is undone doesnt mean the car won't start, unless its the grounds near the t-stat.Originally posted by flashbycb7 View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment

oh ok because my headlight wires on the passenger side i extended them but have not yet connected any of them yet could that be why? and by ground banks what does that look like?Comment

no, not plugging in the headlights wouldnt cause your dash to do this. Ground banks are USUALLY a white plastic cluster of 4 black wires that bolt to the chassis. sometimes they are just one, two, or 3 black wires attached to a single ground connector. Also go back and make sure all of your connections are tight. Did all of these work prior to the wire tuck?Originally posted by flashbycb7 View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment

yea i know and when you do your wire tuck i had to extend those and i didnt connect those to the other side yet the 4 black wires!Comment

the one on the driver side is connected but on the passenger side is not and will theat also cause my windows to knot work?Comment

That just might be your problem... Always plug in all the grounds before you check your car for power.

ok thanks alot for your help i hope this is it i just didnt know something all the way near the passenger side will interfere with your clusterComment

No problem, if it doesnt fix it, check ALL of your fuses, by that I mean actually pull them out and inspect them. As far as the cluster I would go back and make sure everything is plugged in, I dont think there are any plugs for the cluster that could affect the windows. Electrical problems are a bitch to sort out.Originally posted by flashbycb7 View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment

ok but the ground banks can fix the windows also though right?Comment

COULD is the key word, depends on exactly which banks werent reattached, if at all. Thats the problem with wire tucks, its easy to not re-attach everything or cause electrical issues. I did mine and messed up my headlights and blinkers for awhile until I finally figured it out.Originally posted by flashbycb7 View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment
