Default 1986 Corvette Drivers Information Center

Need help me with a problem.
The function select switches on the Drivers Information Center controls the Digital Cluster display readout.
Oil pressure / Oil temperature has no reading
Coolant temperature has no reading
Trip Odometer / Range has no reading
Average Fuel Usage has no reading
Instant Fuel Usage has no reading
English/metric does not change (Stays in English)
Volts has a reading (Does not change with switch)
I have a ground on B1 of the 24 Pin connector. When I ground (Jumper) each corresponding wire to B1, the correct indicator on the digital Cluster lights. I am looking for any diagram that shows how the ground goes to the each wire through the DIC? Also there is a connector that plugs into the back of the DIC, what are those wires for?

Thanks for your assistance

Have you contacted Bryan @ BATEE regarding the wiring of the DIC? Bryan actually has the instrument panel wiring in his documentation and I'd think he has the information. I don't know that Bryan does the DIC exchanges/repairs or not BUT he'd be my first contact.

There's some very complicated wiring (diagrams only) in some GM Service publications that's NOT included in all of the FSMs but some.

The cluster info:
