I'm talking about a speedometer problem. My 2004 F53 National Sea Breeze speedo jumps to 42 MPH and stays there as soon as I start moving. I found and re-seated 3 connectors on the transmission 5+ times and won't know if that helped until tomorrow when I go get my new Toyo tires. It does drop to zero after I stop.
Is this a know issue with the F53 chassis?

Re-seating the connectors fixed my speedo.

Found out years ago that re-seating and/or a hammer are the first steps in trouble shooting.

The problem with using a hammer is that after awhile everything starts looking like a nail.

"Speedo Problems" - I switched to boxer briefs several years ago and don't feel so cramped up.
Sorry couldn't resist the opportunity

For many items my first step is to check the position of the "on/off" switch.

That's a good idea, especially if you are changing engine oil.

Would someone show ELF where the on/off switch on his speedo is. I don't have the time to do it.
