Its 2, blue plug and green plug

And i was trying to search what number my fuse is for cluster, but couldn't find anything, and i looked at the fuse box but nothing on any fuses looked black or blown, but the back lights still work. On the dash.

It does sound like a wiring issue. Silly question but presumably the plugs are around the correct way

The illumination is one single wire out of all the wires. If it worked prior to removing the black box there's either a damaged wire, or a blown fuse

For them not to work completely implies something is seriously wrong

Does it have a 5 stamped into the top of it? The colour of that looks like a 7.5

Must be wiring if the fuse is intact. For arguments sake try swapping it with another 5A. Sometimes they blow and it's not obvious

When i replaced my fuse the gauges went crazy so is that blown? Because they moved.

No power must be passing. Double check your wiring again
