Begin by thoroughly searching the forums. A while back someone had a similar problem where the fuel and temp pointers went off-scale after a similar incident. I believe the problem was solved by disconnecting the battery for some time (1/2 hour?) and reconnecting. See if you can find that thread. It may help. Good luck.

 

thanks alot bro ill keep searching

yup reset the ecu... remove the battery or the fuse

 

Disconnect your bettary for 5 mins and reconnect everything will work fine.

the same exact thing happened to me........only difference is that my positive wasn't loose, the battery was actually dead....after i got a jump start and was driving home i noticed my speedometer was dead....AND my odometer was frozen, i tried disconnecting the battery for an hour and nothing....if you find the fix to this let me know PLEASE!
