Default Odometer on digidash cuts out, Half way

I noticed the other day when on the road that only the last 3 numbers on my odometer area of the digi dash on my 1993 GMC jimmy s15 were working, I brushed it aside and looked again like 10 minutes later and all the numbers were working again, Its off and on, seems to be more on than off.
here are a couple pictures, is this a common problem, and does the dash cluster need to be serviced? Oh, and everything else on the dash works perfect, its just the numbers for the odometer/trip area, I also noticed if i tap it when only the last 3 numbers are working, the other 3 that were not will come back on.

Just a complete guess, but it sounds like there's a short or loose wire somewhere. When you hit bumps it'll knock it back and forth between working and not.
