I believe there is a main wire harness plug going through the firewall. Check it also.

But I agree, you should check the main plug on back of the IP.

yea, just pull the cluster out a little and the plug is back there. it would not hurt to put some dielectric grease on there too so you will be sure you have a good connection.
