Have no tachometer, speedometer, no fuel gauge, no temperature gauge. Also, my hold button for the transmission will not work. The light does not even come on switch from econo to power light does not come on. Having to manually shift, it will not shift on its own. AC will not come on. Checked all my fuses. Everything seems to be in order. I am thinking maybe relay or something. I just noticed it yesterday when I was on my way home from work. If I just put it in drive it would not go anywhere hardly at all if I manually shift it runs fine.

Just because a fuse looks good does not mean it has voltage going through it, go back and check those fuses with either a voltmeter or a twelve volt test light and check both sides of the fuse when it is supposed to be hot. Usually you can just turn the key to run with engine off, and every fuse will be hot.
I do see two fuses though that might be the ones, the ROOM and METER fuses in the passenger compartment fuse block.
Room is hot all the time and METER hot with key on run.

Will check with a voltage meter. Also found loose connection on my battery. I have had issues with this before the battery terminal the cables not thick enough to go in a standard battery terminal. So I am going to have to get one of the crimp on something that I can tighten down really good and go from there. I will check all my fuses with my meter and I will let you know what happens.

Small cables will not fit in a standard battery terminal. Going to try and get one it will crimp on more or less need Japanese style battery clamps.

That is the type of terminal I had on it to begin with and I had problems with that in the past.

Perhaps you will have to find OEM terminals.
