Have you removed the gauge cluster to make sure everything is plugged in correctly?

Not familiar with the FD cluster, but is there a meter fuse? Maybe also pull the cluster and make sure that none of the solder joints are broken.

I would take the gauge cluster out and get in the with a DVOM and start testing the circuit board, circuit wires, connectors, etc etc...

The fact of the matter is most circuit problems typically are caused by loose or worn connections, however that may not be the case here.
