Car power/start troubles

when I put my duster together I couldnt get it to fire up either.

turns out that when I put my gauge cluster back in the car I never hooked up the two eyelets that mount to the back of the cluster that allow current to pass through the car.

otherwise,check grounds and so on.

and check any fusible links in the harnes....on my duster I found that a few of the old wires were "soft" feeling and were strtchy and limed up and one of the factory fusible links did not feel right so I replaced any questionable wires and replaced the fusable link with an actual fuse that can be replaced if need be.
