First & foremost ensure Fuse #5 doesn't have oxidation on it's blades. While you're there look for battery voltage in and out of the fuse.
Then make sure the instrument cluster rings to a known good ground (do it with the fuel pump running because they share a ground junction).
Then look for battery or charging voltage on Green in the instrument cluster harness connector (or use the dash volt gauge terminal itself if your binnacle is still loose).
That should troubleshoot the dash volt gauge.
