I do not have Tach, speedo, or A/C controls after my a4 to m6 swap. I replace the A4 harness with an M6 harness during the swap (same year) and also removed the steering column. Any suggestion??

Chances are you left comething unplugged for the A/C. Are you sure the harness you replaced the stock one with had all the same connections, like A/C, cruise, etc? Was it the from the same year vehicle as yours? And did you go with a PCMforless or MadZ28 tune? Make sure your VSS connector is securely in on the tranny, or you won't have a tach.

All the connectors were the same except the trans ones.
I only replaced the engine harness not the one in the dash. Same year harness though just for an M6. After looking at it again, I do not have any dash instruments at all, no blinkers, not even the odometer which is the older gear driven type not digital like the 97+ cars.

Their were three plugs off the engine harness that came in on the passenger side and plugged into stuff under the dash below the glovebox but I am sure they are all plugged in correctly. I guess their is some master plug that controls the dash and a/c that i may have disconnected to remove the steering shaft??

I used Tunercat and just changed my tune to an M6 and reflashed. I checked my trans plugs and they look ok.
Thanks for the suggestions. :)

Well my 10amp GAUGE fuse is out. I will see what that fixes tommorrow. Not sure if a/c is related to that though.

The GAUGE fuse replacement got all my instruments working again. I still do not have A/C or blinkers. I do have hazards though. Using DataMaster it does not show an A/C "request" when I turn the A/C on. Also the car got to 260 degress today in Detroit traffic. It reached 101 here today btw. I do not think my radiator fans are working either. Any ideas? I can't drive it until at least the fans work. :cry:

Fuses and relays all good now. Still no A/C, heater, blower or radiator fans. In fact my fans do not turn on even when I jumper pins A and B at the ALDL connector. I also still do not have blinkers. Any ideas??\
