Tach/Speedo/Transmission Problem
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this site. I have a 95 Suburban 5.7 Ltr. Automatic transmission, about 125K miles. Yesterday I came home from a week long 700 mile trip. I parked for about 10 minutes, then got in to drive home. The first thing I noticed was that the little orange indicator that tells you what gear you're in was gone. As I started to drive I noticed that both the Speedo and the Tach were not functioning at all. All other dash lights and gauges were working. Then I noticed that the transmission was not shifting. It sounded fine, but would obviously start out in a higher gear and stay there, no downshift or upshift. The vehicle had been working flawlessly to that point. Today I checked all the fluids and fuses, no problems there. This afternoon, as I came up to a stop sign, everything clicked back on and all is now working as normal. I assumed that some kind of sensor or speed controller had gone out, but my mechanic says that the speedo and tach do not run from the same place, and he is scratching his head. It didn't help that the truck healed on the way over to his shop.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
