Default Speedo floating

Hey Gang..
Garage is on order so i am gonna put her up in a bit..She has been my daily driver and love it!!! Thanx to all of you on the list....

Currently the speedo will occasionally float....When accelerating the speedo will act as desired..when i let off the pedal the needle falls off and bounces, untill i get back in the gas...this is random...

I suspect a loose ground...

sometimes when it is wet out and i go over a bump i get a momentary fault light with an ABS caution twinkle..these dont stay lit and the caution goes away with out hitting the reset.....

What do you think?
thnx

Yep, I have sort of the same issue occasionally. Mine will drop and rise back up and sometimes just sit at 0 and then back up to correct speed. Interested to see if someone chimes in on this. Probably instrument cluster connections.

I have seen the speedo float before the same as you guys are describing it.Then later on the LH computer went.After the LH computer rebuild by Richard the speedo never floated again.Not sure if was a coincedence or not but right after that rebuild it worked great.

mine floats too, when that happens, i reach to the back of the pot from behind the steering column and push/press and it will work for a long time - weeks and then floats again.
