I love this forum. I flipped the wires, it didn't help. What I did do is reconnect the brown wire and that made all the difference. The manufacturer of the alternator said the brown wire was for the light and was optional. Since I was converting my unit over from 3 gauge to a 7 gauge cluster I figure I didn't need it. Two days later and 5 minutes on this thread made that a stupid idea.

I have to admit I have the cleanest wiring system on the plant. You'd be surprised how much crap people add to wiring so that could have a fancy radio, sun gauges and side/cab lights. I couldn't figure out why my lighter didn't work. What a mess. My stupidity had it's benefits and I know my wiring now....well at least better then I did.

Thank you for your help.

Wait, only my speedometer is hooked up to my new cluster, where does the brown wire go? I did notice a socket hanging by the steering column. Is that the socket for the light? Does it need a bulb?
