Ground questions
 
I had pulled all of the wiring off the truck to paint the frame, and cab. After I got the cab back on the frame, and the engine and tranny back in, I hooked the engine wiring back up, and put the guage cluster back in. I have the main ground from the battery going to the alternator bracket, and to the frame, and from that spot on the frame, to the front of the engine. Then a ground from the rear of the engine, to a ground lug on the cab. The only ground I could find in the cab was a small one from the fuse box to the emergency brake bracket. The guage cluster acts like it has no ground. Am I missing some main ground for the inside of the cab?

If i remember correctly, there needs to be a ground going from the metal dash frame to the emergency brake bracket.

Does anyone know if all of the grounds for the lights help ground the guage cluster? My front and rear harness are not hooked up to anything yet.
