Default gauge cluster not lighting up

I didn't have the light dimmer/brightener connected for a while, and a week ago i plugged it back in. My lights lit for mph and gas ect. after i plugged it back in. Couple days after they wouldn't light up anymore. Dimmer switch works fine still. Checked fuse and it was good. All lights on gauge cluster works fine except for the ones that suppose to light up when my lights are on.

It has to be your dimmer switch, double check the conection and make sure you have 12v coming out from the switch to the cluster

i tried another dimmer switch. They both can dim the cc button, so i don't think thats it. I'll check the fuse again and replace the light bulbs tmrw. Hopefully that is it. Correct me if I am wrong, but are't there a lot of little light bulbs that light it up, or is it just gonna be a few.

3 backlight bulbs, but its not common for 3 of them to go out at once. proably the fuse or connection. if it is the fuse, get that fixed, because its the same fuse as your taillights.

Ive been driving with no light on my gauge cluster, but today i unplugged the cluster again and plugged it back in to see if that would have any efect on it this time and it did. After i did it my signal lights on gauge were slightly lit up, and while i was on the freewaythe gauge lights worked, BUT my rpm and mph needle were moving up and down while i was at a constant speed. my temp gauge was at h and fuel gauge was completely full. is my cluster done for, or what can i do ?
