There should be a IOD fuse in the box under the hood, remove and test that if not already done. Another common problem is the solder points on the gauge cluster going bad, you can google it and see the fix, but if the fuse does not have power that would not be it-I am just not sure if you are checking the correct fuse. ---

There is a bad connection somewhere. If you had no power at the fuse then you need to check the connection to the fuse and the wiring that is before it.
