Try removing the negative cable only with the key and engine off... leave off for 10-15 mins and try it.

Can it be driven? Speedo working or not? Could be it need a new cluster, but have it scanned first by a shop that can read B codes.

Scan it before spending the money, but I'd go with the cluster.

Well thanks for the help Merlin i tryed everything
to clear my cluster light so went to a shop to scan
no reading got home and really went over wiring.
wire that i installed to alt. had a bad spot that had rubed to the inside-shorted- giving me the lights on my panel freakin my computer out!! Rrplaced wire removed the ground for 20min Wala! computer reset and all is well. This is the kind of problems i bring on myself for customizing my ride. Thanks again for your input it is folks like you that make the internet a cool place to visit.
