Guage cluster not working

I just bought a 93 f150. Drove it home like an idiot (lol) and I noticed that the guage cluster doesn't work. Only the fuel gauge works which is kind of funny since normally thats the one that doesn't work. Are these clusters known for going bad or is there possibly some other issue?

Someone might've had that gauge cluster out, swapped it, etc.

I'm leery anytime someone says this... it's like warning flags "odometer fraud"...

Not saying that's the case, because if your state has routine safety inspections yearly, one can figure it out quickly. (Doesn't help after the sale that you got a frauded truck! LOL)

I'd take it out of the dash and make sure things are plugged in correctly.

Well I probably should have tried to figure it out on my own first before asking lol. Turns out it was just a blown fuse. Everything works now. except the little screen for the odometer I presume. That doesn't work. And the radio doesn't work so it might need a new radio but so far, I've been surprised at how much still works.
