Negative (ground) is common to all of the gauges so assuming none of the internal cluster wiring (circuit board traces) are damaged you should be ok there. The power feed for the cluster is Fuse #18. The RED/YELLOW wire meanders all over the place finally wending its way up to pins B5 AND A13 in the cluster.

Thanks ....I'l double check on both of those but I know I have power on R/Y in the right side connector. ......and the ground is good....Doesn't it seem unusal to lose them all ? or is it a common failure ?

Yes, it does unless there is a broken trace on the dashboard circuit board. All of my electrical diagrams show the RED/YELLOW as common feed for the gauges along with the ground. And its even less likely that all of the triggers for the gauges have failed.
