I had a blown 25 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood mounted on drivers side fender, it was labeled for power outlet, I believe it was fuse #11. I removed the other 25 amp fuse for the other power outlet and installed it where the burnt fuse was and my instrument cluster worked. It was not labeled for the instrument cluster.
