hi

i have a 89 coupe, with a s13 black top sr  
the original cluster has poor connection, the speedo comes on and off according to bumps on the road

so earlier i brough a JDM digital cluster, i pluged everything in, nothing worked including signal, tach, and speedo, even my s-afc wouldnt turn on after only thing worked i think was the fuel meter. after i swap the original one back in, it everything works fine

the cluster had an o/d(over-drive) light on the right along with other lights. so it could of possibly came off an automatic, would that effect it?

so has anyone have this problem before?

help is appreciated  
thanks alot all!!

It could also be the harness, had that problem in the past tried a few clusters but it turned out to be the harness
