Hmm..."halfway swapped"....without additional detail on what exactly you mean by that there is no way any suggestions can be given. You are making the assumption that we know what "halfway done" means....

hmmm i missed that lol i am assuming the previous owner swaped gages to get rid of the gear indicator on the cluster. if this is the case the no bus is due to the unsupported digital display
