While driving the car tonight the tach froze at 1.5 x1000 RPMs and the speedo at 30 mph. They stay frozen even once the car is turned off and back on. again.

The car is off and all of the dash lights remain on, again in a frozen state. I can't change the trip odometer, for example.

I put the car on the battery tender since the dash lights are drawing power. What else should I do or try.

Thanks!
Todd

Try pulling a battery lead for a few minutes.

Will do. Thanks!

Try a cluster reset....Instructions are on here somewhere. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes. I hope that takes care of it.

Hi Todd,
Dan is being too kind.
I have never had this problem, but the first thing I would do is disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. This is the only car I know that seems to need rebooting. Let me know what happens.

Along with removing the ground cable for 5 minutes, there's some other ideas here:

The battery disconnect did the trick. :clap:

It pays to have the right friends. :bow:
