Yeah looks like the gauge was damaged. As far as your speedometer I checked mine just now and yes it should be at the 0mph mark...but mine is a little bit above 0mph...reading 2mph about. That's with the car off. I'm not sure if it was messed up because of putting the cluster back in. There's one round slot that you have to fit it into and it's green colored. I believe that's for the odometer though...so if that's the case the gauge itself might be having some electrical problem. Did you by any chance unscrew a ground wire on the back of the cluster? Or did you by any chance physically touch the speedometer needle or flip the cluster upside down or all around? Doing so might damage its calibration. As far as your blinkers...the only time I experienced that problem was when I replaced the signal/light controller from the original 86.5 to a newer 89+ supra one. After I did that my signals wouldn't come on at all...so what I did first was check to see if the hazard switch would light them up. It did and after I checked that the signals worked again...very unusual.

In my case I live in a big dismantler city. It's quite easy to find a used Supra and get the gauges out of it. If it's hard to find one I could help you out.

alright i fixed the speedo i just took the needle off and moved it over to the 0 spot (pretty simple) but i still cant figure the turnsignals out my hazards still work but the turns dont not in or out of the car. An no blown fuses I dont know what i can do i guess just a process of elimination

Hmmm well they stopped working after you took out the gauge cluster right? It's it possible you miss putting in a plug or didn't plug it in all the way?

now that i think of it i had trouble with the column switch when i first bought the car. I had to dismantel it and put it back together and it took about a week for it to say on like its suppost to. I would have to click in into the turn position then put pressure on it to get it to turn on Ill test it and see what i come up with

Yeah when I changed out the old 86.5 column control switch to a newer 89+ switch I had to modify the contact wires for the cruise control. There was one extra wire on the harness of the new one that I had to eliminate. Doing so required me to take apart the column control switch and I can see how if something isn't aligned or press fitted properly it won't work. It's possible maybe a snap fit flange broke off and that's why you have to press down on it with pressure to get it to work.

im just straight up getting pissed now. I have checked EVERTHING on this car. This is a list of all the things i have checked. Turn switch, fuse, voltage to the fuse, the guage cluster, all the bulbs and sockets, relay, voltage to the turn switch and every thing is fine what the hell is the problem the onlything i can think of is the wires to the lights but y would it just all the sudden stop working after the guage is removed and put back in, and for that matter the hazards work so it couldnt be the wires to the bulbs. Would that little box under the left brake light assembly in the rear. I know it has something to do with the turn signals.
