Exclamation 79 5.0 instrument cluster replacent gone wrong need help!!

hello i posted a thread earlier because i was having issues with my car not starting, i am a noob and i don't know how to remove the thread sorry :P but any who i replaced the instrument cluster because it had sun damage from being in AZ all its life i hit a pot hole and the whole thing crumbled into my dash so i bought a instrument cluster at a junkyard that worked in the car they had but i put it in mine and the car wont start!!! i try to start it and the temp goes to max and no other instruments work. so i disconnected one side of the cluster and the car will start and the gas gauge works but the car i almost want to say power cycles? its almost like a pulse. but i looked at my old cluster and it has two layers of what appears to be circuit board. but every cluster i have found appears to only have one circuit board like the one im trying to put in the car. i would appreciate your help, i use the car as my daily driver and need it to get to work im kinda desperate. please any help would be great thanks!
