So my ENTIRE instrument cluster doesn't work. I was tucking everything in my alarm install away. And a metal line touched my ACC line (blk/wht wire under the instrument panel)
And thats when my door buzzers started going off. My key was in the "on" Position. When its in the on position, and the door is open, it suppose to turn off, well it did before. But now It doesn't. So, I was like whatever I can live with that. But as I started the car, I noticed that I did have any rpm signal to my cluster. Then as I started to drive I didn't have ANYTHING working!? Even my factory boost gauge and my fuel gauge wasn't working. Checked the fuses in the engine bay. Is there a fuse for the instrument cluster in the car that controls the instrument cluster?:ohdamn::banghead:
 
Solution
MOTHER F-ER!!! LOL it was a fuse. I thought I checked them all pretty good. I guess not god enough. CASE SOLVED. buzzer went away too. Thanks man
is it where theres ALOT of fuses or just a 10amp fuse and like 3 relays. Where the power window relay is? So the place im talking about is right above your knee. If you take out the panel there you can see it. I tired looking at the fuses for the cluster right above the dead peadal. And looks like theres nothing for the cluster
 
I believe majority of the interior fuses is where the dead pedal is. I'd pull each one out and check it. You never know how these cars are electrically wired and going through the diagrams would take hours.

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I'm having the exact same problem and can't find the fuse for the cluster anywhere, what fuse was it?

Thanks, ill try that, ive pulled the cluster and checked fuses but i cant seem to find any that are blown so ill check if fuse 15 is getting any power. If that doesnt work got any ideas of other stuff to check?
 
Reviewing the wiring diagram, looks like i overlooked fuse 8 in my previous post, also responsible for the combination meter.
