Dakota digital help
 
Afternoon guys. Installing a dakota set into a 72 c10 that I'm doing a 5.3 ls based swap on. Using BW swap harness and wired truck new with auto wire kit. Truck starts up and alternator charging with 14.52 at terminal. Went with the BIM module and ran the dakota oil pressure sensor to dash block as the BW harness didn't have wire reading for it.

Only thing that powers up is the back lighting on the clock when motor is on and running. Nothing else moves or powers up, the BIM module only has red light on, not numbers or letters. Anyone have any install pictures of similar setup. Possibly I missed something but have double check and looking for options and help to get this thing headed in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a Grounding issue.
