can you explain "turn it off and turn it back on again"?

I had a slightly different and more extreme problem with my 2002 Regal LS.

One day while kroozin abut 70 down the interstate, the tach and speedo spun around like a plane's compass in the Bermuda Triangle. Then everything set back to zero, 0, nada.

I pulled over, shut it off, and checked under the hood for dead vermin or possibly the famous sulfur smell of satan.
Nothing.

Restarted and everything remained DOA, but the car drove fine.
Dealer said dash had to be replaced, which he did to the tune of around 500 bucks. This was around 2004-05.

Well, that fixed it.


It was covered under the GM Certified used 39/39 warranty, but the hassles the dealer ran me through on that is another story entirely.

I have heard similar experiences with the last gen bonnevilles and 2000-? silverados.
