I hope you started with the harness that attaches to the cluster, before wasting money. The screws that hold the "green skin" on the back will come loose sometimes, and cause gauges to stop working.

What do you mean you hope I started with the harness. And I never took out the screws and never took apart my cluster. I just swapped it out with an LS cluster.

Was the VSS you put in new, or verified good? If so, check wiring, etc. Does the odometer turn?

Vehicle Speed Sensor and yea try and get that fixed asap........sucks to not know how fast you're going unless you memorized your rpm's.

Odometer, not speedometer. The odometer is where the mileage is recorded. If it doesn't turn, it's your VSS.
