Yep, this will happen when the instrument cluster needs to be replaced or you have a bad ground. here is how to remove the cluster so you can check the ground and then replace the unit with a rebuilt or used unit you can find on eBay. Here is a guide to help you test the black wire at the cluster electrical connector. Also, I have seen if you disconnect the battery overnight sometime the cluster will start working again.
