Check for fault codes before blaming just the cluster. Could be a mixture of problems including a bad ABS control module and messed up cluster itself.

If it started after the HID install maybe a bad ground somewhere?

Maybe check for fault codes first?

did you ever find a cause to this. I have the exact same symptoms in my 98, but it seems permanent, in that the condition is always present, yet the car runs great.
