Have you messed with the battery ground lately? I had loosened the bolt on the batt ground and forgotten to retighten it, it made my gauges freak. Seems unlike my problem, but just a thought.

My speedo went whacko a while back. It would hang at certain points and jump all over.

I had to have thewhole cluster replaced under warranty unfortunately. The whole cluster was broken.

I can't really help you any more than that.

Both are fine options.

The dealership should replace it for free if it's under warranty. But it's always a nice excuse to treat yourself to some SVT gauges or something nice like that.

If it's not the battery like the guy mentioned above I'm guessing the cluster is shot, it happens.

You could always take it in and have them make sure it's the cluster. Then decide whether you want them to replace them oryou want to buy a new cluster. I just couldn't stand the jumpy speedo so I got it replaced.
