Try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 1-1.5 hours. This, with any luck, will reset all of the modules, so when you reconnect the negative terminal, all modules will reboot and all will be good.

If that doesn't work try disconnecting the instrument cluster for about 30 secs and then plug it in. It is not hard to remove just a few screws. Disconnect it only after you have disconnected the battery.

the restraint malfunction can usually be reset with a diagnostic machine

all this from jump starting? did you clamp the positive lead directly onto your fuse box?

how does this happen...
