Gray is the wire for all the dash lights. It's easy as pie. Also check fuses.

Gray or light gray (cant remember off hand) controls all dash illumination on nearly all GM cars from the 80s and 90s. Its the same color as you used to wire the cluster up.

Just to make sure your dash lights are working, I would take the grey wire from the 4th gen cluster and run it to a pink or orange wire, (orange is constant hot) (pink is hot w/ ignition) just to see if it is working.
