Default Relay Issue? Gauge Cluster not Working? HELP!

I have a 1992 civic hatchback I woke up this morning an the entire gauge cluster didnt work as well as the direction lights, reverse lights and the clock? Any ideas, I checked the fuses both under the dash and in the bay, none were blown. Could it be a relay? If so which one?

was there anything you did last night that could have jarred something lose? maybe the wire harness came unplugged somehow.. thats all i can think of.. check the back of the cluster.. also download the civic service manual.. i'll edit the post and put the link for you.

I didn't cut any wires. The JDM cluster was installed like 3 years ago.

hey. did you ever find out what was wrong with your cluster!? someone recently hit my 94 honda civic ex on the driver side front. the car was not damaged badly but the steering wheel column is bent a little. the cluster was workin fine for 2 days and now the cluster does not work at all? neither does my clock. or reverse light. basically the same porblem as you.
Im new at this so i dont kno exactly how im suppose to get the reply but ill leave my email
iitzchriz@tmail.com or im @ iiitzchriz
