I swapped in the Sport cluster this afternoon, pretty easy job.

Went for a ride later to pick up my daughter and when I locked the car, the dash theft light didn't come on. Now I'm thinking bulb in the cluster was burnt out, great! So I locked the doors with the drivers window down, to check if the horn would go off when I opened the door from the outside......it didn't! Is there something I might have disconnected accidently? Everything else is fine.

It's been raining up here the last few days, not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Update

I swapped out the Sport cluster and reinstalled the stock 97 cluster and the theft light and system work. I checked the backs of both clusters and the printed circuits are a tad different, I didn't have the digital to take pictures. So, right now I have the stock 97 cluster back in there.
