Would really like to help as I'm sure many others here would, but I can't translate what you wrote into English.
If you *are* actually French and it's not a nickname, please write in en Francais, and I'm sure we can understand somehow.

Sorry about that.
There’s a couple of connectors on the back of the cluster that send power the cluster lighting. It’s a bit weird how it’s wired though, if I remember correctly the metal chassis of the cluster is positive and there are a bunch of grounds (brown?) together. You want to check none of those connectors have come off first. Second you want to check the headlight dim switch, it’s easily burned or worn out. The positive feed for the cluster lights comes off this headlight switch. If the switch is faulty you can either replace it, or bypass the potentiometer part of the switch.
I hope this helps.

Have you reconnected all the wires to the starter motor?
