I think its the fuse for the rear lights. Had the same problem. Rear lights and cluster light didnt work. Should be the fuse box in the car.
Dont know if its the same on the US cars though.

Is this even a Nissan?

If it's a Nissan, go download the factory service manual. Go to the EL section. Look up the illumination circuit for the gauge cluster. Trace power backward from ground to the battery. Something is broken along the way.

check the tcu. also the tail light fuse behind the driver side kick panel. does that fuse keep blowing? it may simply need a new one if its blown. if it keeps blowing, then youve got a short. also known as a gremlin. and good luck.
