There is a voltage control box on the back of your cluster. It is called a CVR or constant voltage regulator this is what keeps your guages at a determined voltage level. Usually when it malfunctions the guages read opposite of what they should. The only other thing I can think of is the printed circuit board on the back of the cluster has an open circuit.Hope this helps!  Gary
