Default Reset Button Stopped Working! Help!!

About 3 months ago my E/M button stopped working, you know, the button that changes the gauge from Kilometers to MPH. And now, just 2 days ago, the RESET button also just stopped working! Have any of these buttons ever stopped working for anyone else? One more interesting note, at the same time the RESET button stopped working, the Right turn signal started flashing 3 times as fast as normal. PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE HAD ANYTHING SIMILAR AT ALL EVER HAPPEN TO YOU. THANKS SO MUCH!

Most likely a loose connector on the dash console. I would remove the console and examine the connectors.

Well.. I was going to store my car for the winter on Christmas Eve and take off the dash console to see if any wires were loose, but instead i totaled my car the day before Christmas Eve.

Well, i hope it's totaled b/c i know it will never be the same if it's not. Please pray for me. Thanks.

Whoa, sorry to hear that.

I was reading the thread and thinking about the possibility of a loose connector, when I read your last entry.

Hope you are ok.
