Sounds like something is loose! Oh wait, you said that. Behind the instrument cluster are 2 connectors that provide all the info and power for the cluster. If you ever have to replace a burnt out bulb you have to pull the cluster free of the dash. Those 2 connectors cannot be reached with your hand. You physically pull the cluster out until they let go. I could easily see 1 coming loose. I would suggest removing the plastic surrounding the cluster, then removing the 3 screws holding the cluster secure. Then pushing the cluster to reseat the connectors. It's free so it's worth a try.
