Infamous no dash lights/odometer/trip not working
So I've read through tons of threads and was about to order a new cluster but before I do I just wanted to know if my problem is the same thing as these others. I have no dash lights, I replaced the headlight switch and still no dash lights, fuse for the dash lights is good. My odometer and trip odometer neither one work. I was originally going to buy a new speed sensor but at $125 that isn't going to fix my dash lights. Is my problem more than likely the gauge cluster? The cluster reads 221k on it so i know it's seen some use. It IS a '94 which I know is a problematic year.
Gauge clusters are all over eBay and I'm probably going to order one that reads similar mileage.
Also does the gauge cluster matter if my rig is a 5 speed? I know the shift indicator is not part of the main cluster.

Mine was vibrating loose and a little corroded. I pulled it and cleaned the contact on the back of the cluster, put some dielectric grease on there. Haven't had a problem with it since, that was a little over a year ago. At least for me it was a quick and easy fix.
