most likely you will need to replace the dash cluster. thats the only thing that can cause that to happen.

Funny that this question comes up today...I was at BMRFIXIT's shop today and he was replacing a cluster on a 2003 checvy, yes they are prone to fail, but they cost about 300.00....and that's rebuilt!
