94 f150 Instrument cluster malfunction

Hey everybody, brand new member here so bear with me.

I just bought a 1994 f150, and the gauge cluster is not working. When I bought the truck, the oil pressure and temp gauges were out. Today I was driving for work and i noticed that now all gauges except for the speedo/odometer are now malfunctioning. I checked the fuses that the chart in the fuse box said were related, but they all seem fine. Any ideas why this might be? Any help greatly appreciated

Just a thought...maybe some dirty contacts?

Pull the cluster and clean the contacts where the connectors attach. WD40 and some cotton swabs will work. Then take a pencil eraser to them to get a little shine.

Don't know if you got that fixed yet but if not, since you bought it recently, there's a good possibility that the previous owner swapped out the cluster. A lot of people don't realise that they're a little bit year sensitive.
There's a part # on the plastic circuit board on the back - if that starts with F2 or F3 (F3TE, etc.) that would be a problem.
