Disconected battery, cluster not working now..

Hey guys,
Just need little help here. Last week before i changed the oil I used seafoam and once i was done, had a check engine light on so i disconected the battery. Once i hooked it back up, my cluster went out. It shows that I am running empty all the time and my speed/rpms don't work. Also, it doesnt show my mileage. Tried to reset the battery again, checked all the fuses but no luck. Any suggestions what might be the problem?

thanks

Not sure if there are any fuseable links, but check the schematics, if none, replace your cluster.

I think there is a fuse you should take a look at inside the fuse box.

yea i looked into it little bit more but no luck. I was planning to take it to stealership but dont really wanna get ripped off. You guys think it would get fixed if i get a new cluster? Is the mileage stored in ECU or cluster, would it show my original mileage if i put a new cluster in?

Nope, mileage is stored in the cluster. I you do swap the cluster out, I believe you have to go by the motor vehicles department and sign a affidavid stating the true mileage or something like that.
