Yes, you have destroyed the cluster....BUT it's fixable.

The radio's illumination wire is controlled by the cluster's dimmer circuit. You most likely shorted this wire & BURNT a trace (skinniest one) on the circuit board due to no fuse on the dimmer circuit.

All you have to do is solder a wire & bridge this burnt trace.
See attached pic, I have soldered a wire to bridge the burnt trace on mine.
