First thing to do would be to check the fuses in the fuse panel, then make sure the wiring harness is fully engaged into the printed circuit board on the back of the gauge cluster.
I would also suggest adding a couple of periods to your posts  |

^ And also this.
Chebby clusters have a habit of pushing the harness contact plug back, or at a funny angle, which causes them to lose ground or power, and weird electrical gremlins ensue. |
