Had to replace the shifter indicator. Pulled all the shrouds off removed the instrument cluster put in the hew indicator. Plugged the two plugs on the back of the cluster. Put everything back together. Now I have no blower and the airbag light stays on. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chuck

Good evening,

The first thing I would do is to go over all the connectors involved in your repair. it sounds like either a bad connection or maybe a ground wire not connected.

start there. let me know what you find.
