I have found current disruptions behind the fuse block, the feed from the ignition switch, and occasionally bad bulbs/or a bad instrument circuit board. If you are able to obtain a wiring schematic, it has always made tracing electrical malfunctions much easier and accurate.

Same problem with 84 ss. Replaced circuit board and added new lamps. Still not all working especially left signal indicator and speedo. If never done before be careful and take your time - lot of plastic OLD. May also need to replace gauge cluster base - used @ mikesmontes or ebay. Be sure to clean terminal block contacts. I didn't the first time. GM PITA PROBLEM.
