Check for damaged wires and pull the cap off the splice to inspect the terminals for corrosion and loose connections. Repair as needed.

The radio, radio receiver, and air bag module are also on the class 2 network. Try pulling fuses for them to see if cluster and PS return.

Thanks will do tomorrow am and check back!

It’s not under the carpet - it’s on the firewall side of the instrument panel framework, just above where the steering column supports bracket is.

In the illustration below, I circled it in red. The view of the illustration is oriented so you’re looking at the instrument panel carrier from the firewall side. You’ll have to remove the trim panel beneath the steering column - behind that is a piece of sheet metal that also needs to be removed - then you’ll have a better view of the wiring harness in that area.
