I'll see if I can get a procedure, but I am expecting the cluster is bad. Check this ground:

If it is good, you 'll need to get the codes with a scanner to find out which way to go. Post the codes and we may be able to go further.

Based on the codes, there is a communication error that may not be the cluster. The p1600 codes make refernce to communication with the pcm and other modules. The PO230 is related to the fuel pump circuit.

Check the PCM connector for any corrosion or pin damage.

You may end up needing a scanner that can communicate with the modules on this one.

I can get you the diagrams for the fuel pump code, but it may be tied into the communication problem.
