Fuse for the instrument cluster light is #16 last time I checked. Remember that the power for the lights is routed from the rheostat via a grey wire and then it goes to each one of the 3 bulbs to light up the cluster. The metal holders the bulbs are in provide the ground to complete the circuit. I believe there is also a grounding strap for the dash behind the clock. This should just add some extra grounding for the dash because I believe the dash grounds itself when it is mounted but I could be wrong. I would think either the rheostat failed or one of the wires fell off. I would not be impossible that all three lights burned out but rare. Good Luck!
