Th first thing you need to do is get yourself the right wiring scrematic for your car. Then its just a matter of tracing your wires back wo the proper place. I have no idea what a B16 swap is so please explain to me so I have an idea of what you did.

So your saying you got the car withthis wiring issue already? You first need to get some wiring diagrams. They will be your best friend here. Somewhere along the swap, someone(s) made a mistake I bet in the wiring. it could be something as simple as a ground wire or just a break in a wire. Do you know how to properly read a wiring diagram to a car? Do you own a GOOD multimeter?

ummm, then you might be in trouble here. No one is going to be able to help you out over the internet with this. This is gotta be a hands on thing and it might take a while to go through all the wiring. I wish I could help you more now but I just dont have anything to go off of

I lead a very busy life bud. I wish I could find time to work on my own shit. Is your cars dash taken apart at the moment? If not then maybe you can try pulling the cluster out while its still connected electronically and see if you can investigate. you might find something. Also look under the dash, there may be some issues there. Just do as much as you possible can and get the proper diagrams.
