I am not sure why the harness burned up unless it was mis-wired. You can wire individual wires for the gauges but going with a gauge harness sure simplifies things. Also, down the road when problems arise, it is much easier to follow the factory wiring. I would recommend replacing the harness.

Aparently if you just plug in your new cluster, you'll get a smoke show. Don't want that!! There is a detailed schematic of how to convert your wiring so the dash will work But I don't know where.. Have patience grasshopper.. I'm sure someone will post the link on here.
