Default Speedometer doesn't work and fuel gauge isn't accurate

About a week ago, the speedometer stopped working and hasn't worked since. Then the other day, the fuel gauge started fluctuating by 1/4 tank. Meaning on a full tank, it will bounce around between full and 3/4. This continues until 1/4 and empty. At this point, I put gas in it beacuse I wasn't sure which "bounce" was correct. The odometer doesn't work either. Thanks.

Try disconnecting the battery for about 20 mins. You will loose all presets (seat, radio, pinch protection).

If the power cycle doesn't help, see if this thread does:
