instrument cluster

This is going to sound funny, but have the fuse box checked for shorts. Mine was just recently replaced because of this same problem. Took the dealer 5 days to figure out what was wrong. I have an 03 Excursion.

Turn off all electrical items.

Disconnect the POSITIVE battery cable.

Remove all the fuses (record their locations).

With an ohmmeter, measure the resistance from every terminal in the fuse box to a good chassis ground.

Very high resistance = no short. Very low resistance = possible short. Zero resistance = short.

Good luck.
