Went driving down the rough state roads this weekend in my Echo.
1. My speedometer stopped working. On the rough roads, most of the time it would register 0, but big hits or shakes would make the needle jump up and down, even past the actual speed (ie. if I'm going 30mph and hit a series of bumps, the needle would jump quickly from 0-50-10-40-0-40-0.
Now that I'm driving on smooth roads it just registers zero. The odometer doesn't move either. My check engine light also turned on.
2. Sometimes when I press the emergency light button while the car's stationary the car will just shut off. I have to restart the engine and everything. When I do this while the car's moving, I feel a sudden drop in power, and then it goes back to normal.
3. Sometimes when I put on my blinkers, BOTH indicator arrows inside my dash will start blinking like I had turned on my emergency lights instead. However, the actual turn lights in the back are working fine.
Any ideas?
