Answer
Clare,
There are so many possibilities, no power to the cluster a bad circuit board in the cluster, bad wire connection, etc. You will need the help of a tech to begin the fault tracing. The tech will have to hook up the Vida scan tool and test the instrutments and work from there. If the gauges work then test for power to the cluster if they do not work the cluster circuit board maybe bad. Sorry there is not a short answer and an easy fix.
