Ok people. I noticed something really bizarre with my gauges on my drive to work a few minutes ago so I figured I'd see if anyone else has had this problem.
First, my temperature and fuel gauges were REVERSED - the temp read just above the red zone (equivalent to 1/4 tank used on the fuel gauge), and the fuel gauge read just below half where my temp gauge normally sits.
Then, after that, I noticed that my analog and digital speedometer readings didn't match. They were off ~10mph.
When I turned the car off, neither the fuel nor temp gauges went down to 0 - they both sat about 1/2 scale. Then I turned the car on again and the fuel gauge was ok, but the temp gauge was still weird, so I turned it off again, and the fuel gauge went to 0 like usual but the temp gauge still stayed above zero, so I turned the car on again and it all seemed normal (save the speedo since I wasn't driving around @ that point).
Anyone else seen this? I do so love gremlins.
