Do I need special tools and instructions to get at the bulbs in the instrument panel if I have to replce these
I have the same exact issue, the instrument cluster is lit using LEDs, from the looks of it. I opened it up yesterday. It may be a connection problem OR a logic circuit issue since the lights come on and work fine once they do light up. I am going to continue to monitor this and if it fails continuously then pull it apart again to obtain the partno and check the connections. all you need to remove the panel are a nut driver, needle nose pliers, a putty knife to pry the end of the trim piece off (use caution and if available use a nylon tool to prevent scuffs) most of the dash panels on the left and lower must be loosened or removed to access the cluster.

your # 194 bulb is out remove the instrument panel and replace the bulb
take out the four screws and pull the panel out it just pops out and in.
SOURCE: instrument cluster bulb is out. how do i replace
It may not be a bulb, as the instrument cluster usually has a number of bulbs and they probably didn't all blow at once. Pulling instrument clusters can be touchy and may not be for the average "shadetree mechanic" however, typically there are a few screws above the cluster going into the dash pad and a few hidden behind the trim panels below the cluster.

SOURCE: instrument panel cluster gauges and odometer has stopped working
I had all my analog instrument panel gauges stop working after they did the state emissions test. I found the proper fuse in the fuse block located under the hood. Simply unplugged the fuse, noticed it was still good, and plugged the same fuse (10A) back in and all the gauges started working again. Guess it needed a reset atfer they plugged in for the emissions.

I am having the same issue with my 98. Did you figure it out?
