I'm not experienced on this generation of trucks, in fact still learning myself, but

I suggest checking your ground wires, but alas I cannot tell you where they would be located (perhaps someone else will reply with a location). Guessing they might be under the dash somewhere.

In my F150 none of the HVAC lights worked and half the cluster lights were out. All the bulbs were blown the and PO didn't seem to care. Its worth checking

If the 93 still has that flimsy paper circuit pad that goes on the back of the gauge cluster, it could be bad

How did you test your fuses, The best way is to set your meter to ohms. You want to have less than 5 ohms. If you have more than that pull the fuse out and retest it.
If you don't have meter just swap the fues around and see if you fix anything

Check fuse, the whole dash circuit is on one fuse. Also verify the headlight switch/dimmer is working and not causing zero power to go out to the circuit.
