You may have either a loose connection or dirty contact on the back side of the cluster. Try giving the dash a firm slap above the cluster and see if they start working. If you pull the cluster make sure all the contacts are clean and secure also make sure that the grounds are clean and secure.

Is there a resistor under the dash? or a fuse that protects the instrument cluster?
