So I get into my car and start it yesterday after school. My speedo has suddenly stopped working. WTF? I haven't done anything to it in quite a while, so I don't know whats going on. Then the power steering pops up on my dash. Another WTF? Anyone ever had anything like this happen to them before. Shit like this is gonna drive me to trade it in for a G8GT, (shit i just bought a 72 charger and now im broke)

this happened to me too. power steering dinged on the DIC and the instrument panel stopped working. all of a sudden it came back on like nothing happened. mine i believe was a bad flash when flashing a tune. reflashed same tune and now no more problems : )

yea im going to try reflashing my computer this morning

problem is with the pcm

i had this issue when i was trying to hook my odomoter wire to my nav unit.... power steering would flash on the unit and my speedometer always read 0.

maybe a short or if not, u need a reflash.... sorry those are my only experiences

didnt need a reflash after all. the cable somehow became frayed where the speedo plugs into the tranny itself. hence why it was reading 0
