2000 Triton Cluster gauges not working, everything else is..
I have a 2000 Triton, and while idling a few days ago all of the gauges (temp, oil pressure, fuel, battery, speedometer, tachometer) dropped to zero, and no longer work. All of the lights on the cluster work fine, the overdrive works fine, radio, headlights, interior lights, dimmer switch, literally everything else works fine except those gauges. I will also mention that the select/reset button does not work, and I am not able to sweep the gauges either.
I have tested all of the fuses, and they all seem to be good. Took cluster out and inspected the board and it seems fine. Applied the odometer solder fix while I had it out as the odometer always was intermittent, yet it odometer still doesnt come on. (The odometer hasnt worked for years, so I dont believe its relevant, but I do not know for sure).
Not really sure what the issue could be besides maybe a damaged wire or something. Everything I looked up about this issue, there was always something else that didnt work along with the gauges... that made it easy to diagnose the cause.
If anyone knows what wires I can test with a multimeter on the plugs to the cluster that controls the gauges, or some other way to diagnose the issue, I would be unbelievably grateful. Im losing my mind trying to find the cause of this.

Yeah google doesnt solve every issue, which is like... why im here.
Would appreciate help on the issue I asked about, not advice on how to google, or "send it in".
If "sending it in" was an option, I wouldnt need to ask for help here.
If anyone is aware of a pin/wire I can test, or a specific area I can check for wire damage, I would very much appreciate it. If you're willing to troubleshoot with me, even better.
Otherwise there really isnt a need to reply to tell me how to do common sense basic things that would eradicate my need to post on this forum in the first place.
