Yes all fuses are and relays are good and we are at the point of checking the output from pcm to instrument cluster

all this happened all at once? starter problem won't explain why guages don't work while the car is not running. But really when they don't work when the car is running would be a big problem. But, have you tried to bypass the starter to get it to crank?

Your starter won't turn even when you bypass? Getting it to crank is another question.

Its to my understanding that the tcm is apart of the pcm so if the pcm does not see the neutral safety switch , it wont let the starter work when you turn the key
