      I don't know if this will be of any help, but it's the best I can do.





      Good Luck

              One of the wires near the speedo head has a bullet connector which, if it pulls loose, will give the reading you describe.

                wow what and where exactly is a bullet connector? is that the big chip looking thing where all the wires come together and gets inserted behind the gear indicator itself? lol im gonna tinker with it some more... ive just gotten so used to being in gear 8 24/7 lol

                  Gabriel, these are bullet connectors:

                  They are just another type of connector like a spade or a butt connector for joining two wires together.
