The problem with Dodge is that everything electrical runs through the instrument cluster. So if you spliced off anything with power that goes directly into the harness for the cluster there is your problem. Double check everything remove the positive wire and run it off the fuse box where there is a fuse or point that turns on and off with the ignition switch and that should fix your issue provided you put everything back the way it was before you put in the radio. Hope that helps.
