This can be one of three things either the fuses are out, the ground is no good, or the cluster itself went bad which is common. Here is a guide to check the fuses and ground which I have included in the images below:

Here is how to change the cluster out, you can get a rebuilt unit by searching Google or eBay. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
