Default Speedometer issue, need help!

I have a 95. When i start the car up the digital readout on the dash is fully lit up. Speedo reeds 888 mileage is 8888888 fuel tank says full and every other thing on the digital readout is on. Was having issues blowing a fuse from a bad tail light and in a pinch i used too high of a fuse and the digital readout went nutty. Figure i burned out a connection somewhere but found no obvious issue with the etching on the instrument control clusters board. Fixed the tail light issue and need to know where to go now to fix this. All help is appretiated!!

Highly likely you blew some electronic component in the IP circuit board.
Electronic stuff tends to be a bitty fussy about over voltage / current
Repair probably beyond ability of the average home mechanic as you need to identify the fault first before you can repair it
