Help, Cleaned Cluster Now Truck Won't Start
So, I took out the cluster today and gave it a thorough cleaning and added a couple LED bulbs. Put everything back together, tested the lights, then attempted to start the truck...nothing. When I turn the key it's as if the starter isn't getting any juice. Everything else appears to be working fine. I took it apart 3 times and cant find a problem. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? It's a gauge cluster, not dummy lights.
...and the LEDs look so much better in the dash too.

Re: Help, Cleaned Cluster Now Truck Won't Start
You could start by following your wiring to the switch. Look for any damage and jiggle the harness and try to start. If it starts its either loose someting or other in the harness, bad connection to the switch or switch is going bad.

Ok, solved it. I'm a little embarrassed to say that attention to detail is key; it helps to have the transmission in Park when starting your truck. Hahaha

safety first , you are not the first to do this , wait till you have a memory lapse and check all things possible and then du, you never hooked the battery back up, but then some don't disconnect it and wonder were is the smoke coming from
