intermittent non-operation of '95 90q speedometer

["David M. Fox" <dfox1@uta.com>]

I drive a '95 90q

The speedometer has a couple of times been
inoperative immediately after the car was
started.

I kind of banged on the instrument panel just
above the speedometer each of the two or
three times that this happened and it
seemed to correct the problem.

Once I was driving down the interstate
with the cruise on. All of a sudden the speedometer
went down to 0 and the cruise control acted strangely
for a few seconds. Then once again the speedometer
and cruise control were ok.

Anyone here experienced similar phenomena?

If so, what was your fix for it (hopefully a better
fix than banging on the instrument panel)?

Thanks
