Default 2003 Blazer Xtreme; Smoke from under dash and now most gauges don't work

Had smoke come from hole for trip meter reset and under dash. Now tachometer, speedometer and most other gauges do not work. All fuses checked out fine with an ohm meter. Any ideas what the problem may be or is it time to replace the instrument cluster?

First thing you need to do is open it up to see what wire or wires are the problem fix the problem then see if it still works, PS find what caused it to begin with....

something in the circuit board could have fried, but do what 4x4 said first. pull out the cluster and look around for anything melted.
