This vehicle is ethe logic for the passlock is quipped with a passlock system in which in the cluster 1. turn the ignition to the on position 2. try to start engine( engine wont start or stay running) 3. notice the security lamp should be flashing 4. leave key in the on position until it stops flashing (approx 10 min) 5 turn key to off position 6 turn back on again (DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START) 7 wait for security lamp to stop flashing again 8. repeat steps #5,#6,#7 9.turn ignition off and then back on and this time try to start engine. If everything is in working order you will have just performed the long version of PASSLOCK relearn procedure. PS. Make sure Battery is strong as the vehicle will be sitting with the ignition in the on position for approx 30 minutes
I had read that what you have to do is after you replace the cluster try to start it once. Leave the key in the on position for at least 10 minutes and that is supposed to reset the anti-theft system and it should start and run fine.
There are two primary causes for the entire instrument cluster to fail on a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. The most likely is that an instrument cluster panel fuse has blown. One can also inspect to make sure the wiring harness and connectors to and from the cluster are intact and undamaged. If the problem is limited to the cluster itself there are services available that can repair and refurbish instrument clusters, often on an exchange basis.
the plug in the back of the guage cluster is loose
No, they will not interchange.

Usually, 'cluster', refers to the instrument/gauge cluster or instrument/gauge panel that the driver looks at, containing the speedometer, fuel gauge, etc.
