QUESTION: It is digital.

Answer
Check your fuses. Could be an open wire circuit at the instrument panel connections, Faulty instrument cluster ground, Faulty micro-processor within the instrument panel.

You need to perform some simple voltage and ground circuit tests at the electrical connector at the back of the instrument cluster.
