Bad Day...Smoked something...didn't get high!

My guess is you shorted the hot lead on the back of the instrument cluster.

Before you go putting another fuseable link in, you need to check for shorts. Easiest way is use a volt ohm meter set to continuity.

If all you did was pull the instrument cluster then likely that is where the issue is. Pull up a scematic on your car and look for any wire or circuit that ends up connected to the + side of the battery. Use test leads from each circuit to ground. If you hear the beep, then short you have. Especially if very low ohms or 0 ohms is displayed.
