The '20 doesn't have the cluster all tied up with the HVAC like earlier Z's, although the triple gauge is still on a serial link to the cluster. Since all the lights in the cluster come on with the key, it can't be a power issue. The clue is the P/S system, the EPS won't work without a speed signal from the cluster. That implies the cluster is losing communication with the rest of the car. Check the pin-fits and CAN voltages into the cluster at pin 21 Blue (CANH) and 22 Pink (CANL). With the key on you should see a bit higher than 2.5V on CANH and a bit lower on CANL. If those are normal and the pin-fits are good, I'd say you have a bad cluster.
