II was checking my fuses yesterday in the driver's side fuse box and now my gas gauge, speedometer, and temp gauge aren't working. I tried rechecking my fuses and also giggling the key in the ignition switch to see if that would help. Still nothing.

What should I do?

I am not sure how checking the fuses would cause this issue, but we need to recheck the fuses shown in the diagram below.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Next we need to make sure the power is getting to the cluster and if it is then unfortunately, I suspect the circuit board in the cluster has failed.

The only thing I can think of is when you were checking the fuses you had a voltage surge, and it damaged a solder joint and caused an open circuit.

Please run through this info and let me know what other questions you have.

Thanks
