Thread: Elec issues

Ok this one just started about a week ago. After I start my engine some time my dash, A/C and radio would go off for a sec and the back on but the engine stays running. This might happen 1 or 2 time then that’s it. It has happened in the morning and in the afternoon. I have wiggled the ignition key to see if it might be the issue but nothing happens. The other issue is yesterday I was in the parking lot and I put the Trans in neutral and revd the engine. I then noticed the MPH on the HUD went up also don’t know if the speedo does the same because it’s not working right nether. I did a search typing speedo and RPM but I can’t find anything. So any info would be great.

Which plug? The HUD plug?

Cool thanks now I have a weekend project

Would that cause to skip as the MPH go up too?

Had to type fast boss was walking by and i skipped a word lol. Yea that question was about the speedo now. As I drive the speedo skipps.

Ok before i could check my connection I noticed it would only happen when I would turn my AC on to the setting 1-4 but when I turned it to 5 everything came back on. So Im lost now.... Ill try and get a video today for better understanding of the issue.

Bump. Anyone?

So what could be the solution?

Sweet thanks ill look it up thanks for the help.

It's there a control box that send power to the A/C, heated seats and the boost gage?

Anyone?!?!
