Check the connection in the back of the instrumant panel. Might have come loose. I've read on here that it is kind of common.

Pull the instrument cluster out. Takes about five minutes of removing screws and trim pieces. THen slightly bend the connectors that are exposed when you pull the cluster out, so that they make better contact with the pins on the cluster. That should fix the problem for the time being.
