I got it fixed! I just took out the cluster then put it back in. That fixed it. Now to wait until I get my tire so I can get off this stupid spare tire. I ran over a screw apparantly and it cant be repaired. Theyre special order tires that will get there maybe Thursday. I have to drive slow too cause its on the rear drivers side and the tire says that driving at speeds over 50 with it on the rear can cause damage to the rear differential. Ahh GM sucks. 135 spare tire.
