Wow I feel stupid.

At first I didn't think it was a fuse, because because i took a quick glance through the box, and the CD's said that the fuse that had the instrument cluster on it, also had the front dome light and stop lights on it. For some reason these both still worked, but the instrument cluster didnt.

Turns out the fuse had a hairline crack on it, not visible unless your within 6 inches. Maybe some current was jumping the gap to power the dome light/stop light.

Oh well,

Thanks for the quick response.
