I think I was a little vague in my question...i failed to tell you that yes, I do have background light on both my speedometer and odometer, and the speedometer is reading speed, but its jumping around.....sorry for the mix-up

The "jumping" speed may be the VSS in the trans. Have you taken the cluster out recently? You might have not made the proper connections with the circuit board. Take it out and check for corrosion and/or a bad contact. Hope that helps, i am not very familiar with digital clusters, they are cool though!
