Default cluster dead/no power when key off but fine when key On

My cluster started acting weird yesterday... when the key is off the cluster loses all power as if the battery was disconnected. the **** doesnt move, the trip resets to 0, the L/1000 and trip also reset.

when the key is on though everything is fine... i checked and no loose connectors or blown fuses

could the cluster be dead ?

Do you need it when it's parked in your driveway?

oups clock aha. I dont need it when it's in the driveway... but the clock doesn't keep time because of that + the trip & fuel consumption keeps on resetting every time.

The fuse for interior lights blew pretty much at the same time also..
