89 240 Dead Odometer- wiring issue? 200 1989

Hi all,
Here's the history- pulled instrument cluster to replace ignition switch. After the change, lights quit working (turned out to be coincidence of bad bulbs). During one of my removals of the cluster working on this, in a rush I connected the red/white tach wire instead of the cruise control wire to the spade connectors. Now, odometer, trip odometer and cruise don't work. Speedometer works fine. In searching history, it appears that the connection I made could cause problems. I'm a little surprised the speedo still works. Odometer worked fine before problem so I'm assuming it isn't a gear problem but I haven't done anything to verify that.

Any thoughts? Did I likely fry something? If I did, what will it take to repair? Could it be one of the foil fuses?

I think we can live without the odometer but the cruise will be a bigger issue.
Thanks!
Lyle
