fusible links supply power to fuses, so if you have power at fuses, fusible links must be ok
remove cluster and check pin 19 pink/blue should have power with ignition on
pin 20 orange/yellow constant 12v
pin 6 black/yellow ground

Okay I will check out the cluster when I get time

Do you have OBD to the car? Software on Elm Street (among a few others) has really good diags to see where power is and isn't from which you can isolate poles and looms. You might even have trouble codes that can't trigger a CEL due to canbus faults

I have SOE not much data for cluster or power supply in interior, mainly engine sensors and o2

Does your alternator charge the battery or is your cluster just dead?

So it’s not pin 6? I’ve never touched that ground only when I took out the charging system harness but it’s back on there right

pin 6 goes to the fender ground bolt

Okay I’ll check out the cluster pin outs and get back to you cheers for your help

Had the same problem, damn Adobe and their stupid security updates. Two available solutions, first you can download a previous version of Adobe Reader DC that doesn't have this problem - the one I had saved on my PC was a 3/2021 US version that works fine. However you have to disable the Adobe automatic updates otherwise you will be back to square one very quickly. How to link below:

How to Disable Automatic Update in Adobe Reader DC

Adobe has updated his free "Acrobat Reader" for viewing, printing and annotating PDF's to "Adobe Reader DC", where "DC" means "Document Cloud". The Acrobat Read

The other solution is to use an alternative reader app, such as the free Foxit PDF Reader. This app works quite well and has better/faster search facilities - when you are searching, it immediately shows the results as soon as you start typing the search, and narrows the results the more you type into the search string. Much better than Adobe.
