Problem... No dash lights for fuel gage or spedo or high beam indicator, but all the other dash lights work (wiper switch,heater controls,shift indicator all other guage lights work as well [alt,seat belt,tailgate])
Tried  replacing
all bulbs
different cluster
3 different switches
checked all fuses
checked coninutiy in cluster and wire harness both appear ok.
high beams work

i do not know what else to look for or check any ideas??
it makes night driving  difficult.

Are you getting power at the plug to the cluster?

I agree w/ 77turbopinto, since your other illumination lights work that means the H/L switch is providing power to the circuit. Check for 12V at the cluster connector, light blue/red stripe for dash lights, light green/black for high beams.

I Finlay got it   i rechecked all the light sockets  and bulbs, and used contact cleaner  on all contacts   and adjusted the circuit board a bit   now everything is working . i just don't understand why the same things on 2 different  compleat
clusters were not working    i guess it was just strange coincidence
