You need to test your fuses. Go through with a tester and test each one. Verify you haven't lost your ground straps running from the back of your block to the firewall.

SOURCE: 01 chevy impala. power mirrors and gas gauge not working

Check all fuses and relays. As far as the gas gauge, you may need a new fuel pump, fuel pump relay, or the float on the fuel pump is loose or came off from ear and tear.The mirrors: check the fuses; also, check, or have the button panel in the door checked to ensure the connection are secure. May need a new switch for the mirrors. I am not familiar with this vehicle; but this is what I suggest doing to solve the issues.

SOURCE: gauges not working properly

Hello, Last year General Motors lost a lawsuit about the instrument panels in 2002 to 2005 trucks. The following website contains all the information about this lawsuit settlement.
http://www.speedometersettlement.com/
This impacts the entire gauge cluster in your vehicle.
I have the same year and model as yours and my speedo is never accurate and the tach always read 6000.
The issue is the metal bearings that the gauge meter movements use. The bearings are getting dry which impedes the meter movement.

i had this happen to my base model 1984 el camino (previous owner installed the ss guage panel because he wanted the tach).. i had gotten my transmission rebuilt then 2 days later as im heading to school i realize my gas guage, tach, and voltmeter werent moving.. i checked the fuse, tried everything i could to fix it... ended up being a corroded wire running along the transmission... so yeah, check the fuse labelled "gauges".. i the fuse is fine then have it checked by a repair shop unless you can get to the wiring yourself

To my knowledge there is no reset. Most likely the stepper motors on the back of the cluster for those functions are bad. If you search the web you can find the motors and instruction on how to replace. From GM you would have to replace the cluster.

Is there a fuse that controls the gas gauge and the speedometer?

No, the system is protected as a whole, so all the instrument cluster gauges will not work if the fuse was the problem, not just the gas gauge and the speedo. This is still under warranty isn't it? 3 years 36,000 miles.

2005 v6 instrument cluster problems

mustangs of your year are known for having defective stepper motors installed in the gauge cluster. Having someone replace the bad motor with the newer p/n motor should be a lot cheaper than replacing your cluster at the dealership.
