Can you snap us a pic of the cluster?
Otherwise, you'll have to look for the corresponding wire that was cut and see if there is a match on one of the harnesses up there. Or a connector that is not mated to one...

This is crazy, my car did this the other day except I had no power at all to the whole cluster. I went to start my car and the cluster lit up like normal. Then I turned the key to start then everything went black and the whole car had no power. I was nervous but checked the battery. The positive terminal was loose so I wiggled it down and tightened it. Then the car started but no power at all to the cluster. I got home and pulled the positive terminal over night. Next day connected it again tightly, started her up and everything back to normal. Try pulling the positive terminal to clear everything. It may help and It's free.
