[QUOTE="Mack, post: 1215262, member: 12861"] Hi guys, Today I took the Mustang out for a spin, for the first time since the big trip to France (where I had no issues). I noticed my speedometer was doing weird stuff: it would point to the right speed, then drop dead to zero, then again to the speed, then again to zero. Especially when I let go of the gas, it drops to zero and stays dead. When I powered up, the needle went up and pointed to the right speed, until a few seconds later it drops again. I also noticed that my mileage counter (both of them) are not counting. The rev counter and other gauges work fine. The car stalled 3 times on me, but not sure if that's related. I did have the batery inplugged while parked, only plugging it in just before starting the car. Not sure if that did anything. I'm not a technical guy, but I don't want to run to a garage for every little thing. I want to learn. The problem sounds like a loose connection somewhere, but where do I check? I really hope it's nothing that needs the dashboard to be taken out... If you can point me to some simple checks I can do myself, to see if there's a loose connection somewhere, please! Please describe so a noob like me understands. [/QUOTE]
