Default 968 Instrument panel

Driving the 1994 968, hit a bump and everything on the panel is dead, speedo, tach and all gauges.
Checked & changed the fuse, got underneath and checked for loose wires etc. found nothing.
Suggestions or ideas?
Thanks, David

Sounds as if it is a Ground Wire problem. On the back side of the Gage Cluster there are three large flat connectors. I had to clean them with q-tips and electrical contact cleaner. IIRC, on the back of the cluster are four foot ball shaped grounds held on with a nut. Pry the ground up and use an eraser and alcohol to clean the grounds. There are grounds on the forward bulk head above the pedals, slide the drivers seat all the way back so you can see them.

Yes probably the cluster connections came loose.
