Internal short in wiring? Power gremlins? Disconnected wire? Incorrect wiring? Actual low oil?

Remove the new cluster, and check the wiring for any fraying, exposed copper, missing or unplugged connectors. If you have it, compare the old cluster’s wiring to the new one to see if there’s anything different.

Finally, check the oil level. It could be the cluster’s doing its job, telling ya you have low oil.

Good luck!
