What fuses did you change? I kow the "Courtesy" fuse will cause your cluster to not light up.

In the little panel on the side of the car. I believe the tail light fuse can cause your gauge lights to not work either. Sounds like an odd issue.

check for power at the fuse. if there is power there, the switch isn't the problem. the dark green wire that comes out of the switch is for the instrument cluster. check for power on that wire if the fuse doesn't show power. also, the black wire is the ground. check that the ground is secure and showing ground (just hook a test light up backwards). the ground is shared with the cigarette lighter and the courtesy lights also hook up to it.
