New cluster did not fix the dead Gauge issues HELP

gdizzle said

thanks for reply. The IVR sockets are tight, no wiggle. Could you give me an even more dumbed down explanation of how to ground the sending wire to see gauge jump up?
i assume I wouldnt want to hold it too long for fear of blowing/buring out the gauge, right?
As for cluster ground and pigtail, isnt the entire cluster grounded at any one point? Isnt there continuity on the entire board? or are there points at which ground is broken and looks for another mounting screw?

The clusters are all originally grounded by the mounting screws. Not the best. Just unhook your temp sender out under the hood and ground it. You don't want to leave the key on for long. The fuel has two places for access, either the tank sender, or access the tail harness connector in the left kick panel. You 'll have to conult the manual for proper wire.

The cluster is essentially "one big thing" so yeah, grounding at any point should be OK

Thanks for the photos by the way
