Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE ON MY 2003 DODGE CARAVAN GETS AN ELECTRICAL SPIKE FREQUENTLY AND SPINS COMPLETELY AROUND CLOCKWISE UNTIL IT GETS STUCK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STOP PIN. IT BECOMES FROZEN THERE UNTIL I TAKE TO THE DODGE DEALER FOR A RESET WITH SOME KIND OF INSTRUMENT. THE SERVICE DEPART AT THE HUNTSVILLE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS PROBABLY CAUSE BY "STATIC ELECTRICITY" OR AN ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL SURGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THEY CHARGED THE FIRST TIME FOR RESET BUT NOT THE SECOND TIME. *TR
