Default Air works! But speedo doesn't...
Ok i put everything back together from my dash and when i put the cluster back in i slid the connector for the speedo (the cylindrical connection?) together except i don't think i pushed it in all the way, and now everything on the dash works except my speedo, this sound right to you guys?

I hate the speedo cable, at least diconnecting it, but I agree with Pro, try and push the cable in further.

the end of the cable is a hex you may have so wiggle it a little and or twist the cluster lightly until the cable seats in the socket and snaps in place

Yes and while it is apart, take it for a ride to make sure it works before it is all put back together.
