89 sidekick electrical problems

very unique in the EFI world. until 1991.
1.3L is carb
1.6L is EFI,\

seems EFI
seems loose connectors or rusty for sure.
so the cluster is losing power. simple on this car, cave man, compared to my new jeeps.
the tachometer goes dead to or is it mssing that, is car 2wd or 4wd.???? 5speed?
pin 5 in the cluster is power 12vdc.
black white wire to fuse #8
fuse 8 = IG COIL. if that is failing engine dies. (no spark)

so the that wire (color above) goes to cluster and is cut.
or the cluster connector on the rear is dirty. or got water damage or both.
hit the top of the dash above cluster does the gauges and lamps work now? or blinks, bingo if yes.
see the 4 links here 89, full schematics there.

It's 5 speed manuel--4X4 Thanks for quick answer. Going out to check. No tach. Beat the dash=did nothing. Where is this cluster located? High in dash?
