Instrument cluster not working

Hey guys, so I have a bit of a dilema, my instrument cluster stopped working, its not showing anying RPM, MPH, fuel level, oil presure, windshield wipers, even my indicators dont work. hazards head lights and high beams work how ever. im assuming I blew a fuse but I can not find it where ever it is, all the fuses in the fusebox under the dash are intact, and the 3 obvious fusible links in the engine bay are also good. So I guess the question is did my cluster die or did a fuse/fusible link blow, and if its the latter then which one, thanks.

I would suggest you get a electrical wiring diagram for your car. Look at the diagram for the cluster and look for things that are common to all the malfunctioning circuits "Relay, fuse, etc". I no longer have my electrical diagram, if I did I would look it over and see if I could see something.

I have done that and they all seem to use the same fuse according to the Haynes wiring diagram, its a 10 amp and its designation is x-04, but they don't tell me where it is

I figured it out, a wire got unpluged under the dash and I did not notice it, plugged it back in and everything is back to working order, thank you to everyone who tried to help me
