4. If I remove only the B10 fuse, the gauges stop working/twitching, all the indicator lights go out, and only the 3 lower screens remain lit with mileage, digital speedo, and clock, and the door chime works as well. No flashing indicator lights.

The flashing lights and twitching gauges seem to be related to the B1 fuse circuit. Thoughts?
My thought is still that your issue lies with the cluster, but for giggles you could check the voltage at B1 (to make sure it's constant) and also (per particlewave's post):

"Ground: black connector, pins 8 & 21.
12V+: black connector, pins 10 & 23 (from fuse B1), pins 12 & 25 (from fuse B10), pin 1 (from ignition through fuse E1)
."

Check voltage at these pin locations, also check for continuity at corresponding pins on cluster (when removed, of course). Beyond that, it sounds like you need to have your cluster diagnosed; apologies, I don't have a suggestion on where to send it to...
