ah ok your ground is the issue. If you take the cluster apart you will see the interboard connectors, long pins that connect the 2 boards together. The pin on the far right probably has a bad solder joint, flip the board over and take a look, the joints should be shiny like chrome not dull or broken, reheat the joint and add a small amount of solder that should fix the problem. As always do at your own risk I am not responsible for any damage caused, haha sorry had to throw that in there.
