Default Gremlins in the Electrical

I had a strange occurance over the weekend. The display on the instrument cluster on my 90 went crazy. The speedo and fuel guage were randomly displaying all kinds of crazy things.

Then to add to it the radio locked up and would not let me change the station and the auto climate control locked up and cycled through different fan speeds and temps.

This continued even after the car had been shut off and restarted as well as me unhooking the battery and reconnecting.

It stopped as suddenly as it started. Now everything is fine.

Any ideas? Do I need to get a priest? Loose connection somewhere?

Your car is possessed by Brittney Spears. You are lucky it didn't cut all if its hair off. (paint)

If I could get Britney Spears in the car I would not be looking at the guages! But she would have to have hair!
