It could be the stepper motor in the cluster. You can buy new stepper motor kits on ebay and replace that first and see if that is the issue. If you have basic soldering skills then it is a no brainer.

No problem. Also, the common though is if one motor has gone bad the others will soon follow. So if you're ripping the cluster apart you might as well replace all of the steppers. Just a thought.
