Unhappy Cluster Crapped Out

I need you help again guys, I ran up to Chicago today for work and the Benz ran like a greazzzzed cheata thanks to all you with the Tranny and other issues .

It was such a beautiful day to drive and downtown was magnificent ,I sure miss my ole toddling town. Anyway

I parked Alfred and went into the showroom to do my measure for new display and came out jumped in ,started him up and then I looked down and cluster was dead. EXCEPT CLOCK
Since I had pulled several times when working on the steering lock and ignition... I pulled over and shut him Down and yanked it again. No loose wires everything was intact. I then went under the hood and checked the fuses ...pulled the relays everything looked good.

So I started him up again and I noticed the warning light still worked but cluster had no life. Also noticed the turn signal also not working,now that's some fun in downtown Chicago.

Now I don't now if it matters but I just pulled the cruise amp out and sent out to JD.

Everything has been fine until today.
The wiper and high beams still work but no signal

What do you think it could be ?

Not exactly sure what you mean cluster not working could you be a bit more specific?
Have you checked your fuses regarding the turn signals? Also clean the fuse holder contacts after reinserting the turn signal fuse.

Behind the carpet by the accelerator pedal is a harness... When it unplugs, the cluster loses inputs.

I will do that, ,maybe I loosened something when I removed the cruise control relay.

if you confirm that there is no voltage where there should be in the cluster, you can trace it back to the fuse box and/or battery, using the schematic and a voltmeter... hopefully it is just an loose or unplugged harness and you will not have to.
