Make sure all the connections in the back of the cluster are solid and check all the fuses. Other than those, the cluster is probably just dead. And on a related note, and a shameless plug, I have one sitting in my garage from an 01.

The gauges have a self diagnostic function

check fuse #9 in underhood fuse box and #10 in under dash fuse box.

1. push and hold trip reset button
2. turn the lighting switch on
3. turn the ignition switch ON (do not start engine)
4. within 5 seconds, turn the lighting switch off, then on and off again.
5. within another 5 seconds, release the trip meter button, then push and release the button 4 times repeatedly.

notes: diagnostic mode ends when ignition is switched off or vehicle speed exceeds 1mph.

all gauge needles should make a full sweep from min to max and back again. beeper sounds 5x, indicator lights flash, segment display flashes 5x. pressing the trip meter will restart needle sweep.
