It might be your fuse.

what was the area taht you drove through?? was it just an open area, or is there actually something there? like a production plant of some sort, or a power plant... could be some sort of crazy stuff going on in there that is causing it...

Check your fuses to see if they are OK or Loose. Also check your harness where it plugs into cluster to see if it is plugged in good.. I have also seen the circuitry on back of cluster go bad. But it is rare.
