you have a short (a wire is grounding out) some where. you need to take some time, a voltage meter, and start trouble shooting.

i would suggest starting at the fuse box. or maybe at the dimmer switch being that is controls the lighting on the cluster. actually, when dimmer switches go bad they are the reason to lack of light on the cluster and dash. this might be your problem if the switch is bad and is shorting out.
