What is the problem when gas hand speedometer hand and odormeter hand drops at the same time and stop working occasionally and then starts back later on while driving down the road 95 dodge neon?

Answer 1

If all the instruments behave erratically like that it could be caused either by the main plug onto the circuit board just being loose - it needs pushing back on tight - or maybe it has a worn-out connector pin? Or it could be just one loose wire such as a chassis bonding wire. (Also called a grounding wire.) If you don't know where to look yourself it would be best to get an electrician to check your dashboard display wiring for an intermittent circuit fault.

Contrary to what the following answer says, it is unlikely to be a "short in your electrical system" as a chafed hot wire shorting to the chassis frame of the vehicle somewhere - from excessive vibration or whatever - or two wires touching which shouldn't be touching (because of their insulation has gotten chafed) - would usually cause a fuse to keep blowing...

<><><> I must say I have just learned that a gas hand is a gas gauge. Never in my life have I heard it referred to as such before now. Anyway, if you gauges fail simultaneoulsy, you should probably check for a short in your electrical system. Or, if your speedometer is driven by your transmission as is the case in many autos, that could be your trouble. A odometer hand? The word hand must be interchageable with gauge--oh well--colloquial euphemism aside, your odometer should never stop working as you move forward as that makes your vehicle illegal by law. Good luck with it, and if possible, I suggest buying a newer car. Not to slight the Neon, but Dodge products can do the darndest things--especially old ones.
