Ok, first thing is the cruise control on my ATX doesn't work. Second is that my car sometimes idles rough and then other times it starts up fine and runs fine. Sometimes it starts rough and is low on power and then all of the sudden you can feel something kick in and it runs like its supposed to. I dont know why it will run fine and then it will lose power and idle rough. Third is my dash lights wont work, I have aftermarket glow gauges but the fuse keeps blowing for all my dash lights and also the glow gauges go out. I would really appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks in advance.

Have you gotten any check engine lights? If so, have you checked the codes yet? Let me know if you don't know how to do this. Most likely the answer to the rough running is there. The cruise control has many causes for failure, but when mine did it was because a vacuum line got loose. The fuse labeled "1" on the black plastic cover needs to be checked as it is responsible for cruise control. As far as the gauges, it sounds like you have a short somewhere, maybe a wire is exposed and grounds out when the power is turned on for the lights. You may want to re check the wiring going to the cluster. Let me know if this makes sense or not.

When i first bought my ATX, the cruise didnt work for some reason. Turns out, the cable that attaches to the throttle body was not hooked up. Check for a loose wire that shoudl attach to the T/B.

Did your dash lights work before your glow gauges were installed? I'd start there... Back to the basic.

Wow me too im getting rough idle at start up like 4times out of ten. ISC or fuel pump(loud buzzing humming noise from fuel tank fp might be going out) those were the issues I got when I ran the trouble codes as for the dash lights look for shorts or bad grounds
