yup, most likely the speedometer it self.
people seem to be posting about cluster problems daily as of late.. the old girls are really starting to show their age even worse then how junk they've always been

the xbox trick is reflowing solder. With the xbox, you wrap it up in a towel turn it on and flip it over. This gets the unit hotter than it would be, so the solder melts down back into the holes. I've heard you can reflow with an oven, or a hair dryer, but I would just take it apart and reflow with a soldering iron it personally, so I know it's all good.

i'll usually just take a heat gun to a random malfunctioning circuit board for about 15 minutes after wrapping the heat sensitive components in foil (caps and plastics) ive had pretty good results
