a 90 harness is different from an 88, one of the differences is the cluster for a 90 is air bag equipped and all the pin arrangements may not be the same as fo an 88 which is why you may be having the probs you are, you could try a 90 cluster to see if that solves some of the probs.

you'll have to compare the pin assignment on the 88 harness to the cluster vs the 90 harness......once you know where the power feed and or ground wire for the illumination is, it might just be a simple move of a wire but you'll need a diagram of both, NO WAY AROUND IT.

if you've converted to mass air, your best bet is an 89, no air bags and its got mass air
