This model of vehicle has a very common problem with the resistor falling off in the instrument cluster, more specifically four of them fall off due to the poor solder quality on the resistors. I highly doubt it is a fuse, however you can check the labels on the cover of the fuse panel. Should you replace the fuse and it still doesn't work it would be a resistor problem. You can find some resistors at Radio Shack for about $5.00 plus a solder kit if you don't have one for about $10. You will need four 1/8 Watt 150 Ohm resistors as I would replace all of them so you don't have to worry about any others falling off in the future. Here is a good Youtube video on it.
