1998 saturn sw2 speedometer flutters in key off position Sign In

1998 saturn sw2 170000 miles. first time ever left me stranded it would crank but not start. ran scanner came back crankshaft sensor. replace sensor started right up and runs great again but now I noticed that when I shut off engine the speedometer starts fluttering for about 60 seconds with key off. also when I turn key on speedometer is fluttering and after engine starts there is no tachometer reading while it is fluttering and 60 seconds later it stops fluttering and tachometer starts working and it all works fine until I shut it off and starts all over again. no codes in computer, runs and starts fine. anyone with any ideas whats causing this problem?

I believe those problems will be unrelated. It sounds like you may have a bad dash cluster but it needs some diagnostics to confirm that first.

I could not connect the two together either. I never noticed it before the no start problem. I have been checking for loose connections at all of the relays because it seems to be get unstable current for some source. It only last for about 60 seconds and then its normal. doesn't leave much time to check for the problem. I was hoping this sort of a problem someone else has seen before

We've seen many variations of the same thing and we may find a different cause every time. That's just not how diagnostics are done these days. Cars are not diagnosed from past experience. they are systematically troubleshooted.

Been doing that very thing. Was just looking for someone else view that I might be over looking. But thank you for your time
