    Spirit RT speedometer needle bouncing when car isn't moving

    Ran over to my storage garage today to give my Spirit RT a quick fire up and noticed my speedo needle was bouncing while the car wasn't even moving. Any ideas?

    Bad ground?
    Maybe bad speed-distance sensor?

    Haven't seen that happen before, so just saying where I'd start.

    I hit a large pot hole recently and since then my speedo acts all weird too. It will go from 0 to about 30, then jump to 60, and shows I'm doing 110 when I'm actually doing 80. One of these days, I'll tear it apart and inspect it, lol
