Default Instrument Cluster on Dash

I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota V8. I've had it sitting in my drive way for a few weeks. When I went to turn it on, my entire Instrument Panel/ Cluster on my Dash does not work. Speedometer, Odometer, fuel gaugeetc.My truck still runs fine and the only lights that work on that panel are my blinking turning signal lights.

I'm not a mechanical genius, so if anyone has any knowledge they can share on this situation, it would be greatly appreciated.

PLEASE HELP
THANK YOU

try pushing on it, sometimes they don't get seated properly, also a ground wire could cause this, But does the odometer come on?

If it does, you can press the switch thing and turn the key will give you problem with dash..

Also check fuses / relays.

Had the same problem with mine. It was a ground issue.
