First, I would put a fresh new bulb in the cluster and plug the cluster back in and see if the bulb turns on with the key in the "Battery" position. This will tell you if the bulb is actually working. If not, you're going to have to trace the connections to see if you have voltage anywhere. I would start with all the fuses and go from there. Using a multimeter helps out alot,too.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, the clusters are different as compared to the 2k-2k1's. The 2k2-2k3's have less bulbs and more circuitry. You may want to have your cluster checked out to see if everything is in working order.

out of curiousity, what ses codes did you pull? the reason i ask is because you were talking about having trouble running with another 03 auto and the code could lead you to a conclusion.

I think you should pick up some muffler bearings to go w/ the new heat shield!
