Radiator replacement causes instrument cluster to go out on a 2003 volvo XC90 T6

I had my radiator replaced last month and the day after I got it back from the shop the instrument cluster died (sort of). It functions intermittantly but is off a majority of the time. I can tease it on by pressing the on the front of the cluster in the lower left corner but it goes out again when I let off the pressure. I called the shop and they told me there was no way that any work they had done replacing the radiatror could cause the cluster to go out, but I am not so sure.

Since then I have been driving not aware of my speed (I actually have an app that gives me my speed but is a sad workaround) or knowing how much fuel I have in the car at any given moment. And, as you who know what type of money pit I am driving, all of the notifications to warn me when something is wrong. which it usually is, are located in the cluster as well.

Can anyone point me in the direction on how to fix this or get a relpacement that is not close to $1000. And as soon as I have a working cluster I will sell it. I promise!
