Dakota Digital issues

I’ve had a Dakota Digital dash in my 70 for 10+ years. All of a sudden as I’m driving along the Tach, SpeedO, Fuel gauge and temp gauge will go to Zero then back AND it’s not always all the gauges but always the Tach and SpeedO
Volts and Oil Pressure are not affected. I am running an LS just FYI

Has anybody else experienced this???

Re: Dakota Digital issues

Are you picking up the speedo from the OBD port or is it set-up separately using the VSS in the trans?

Re: Dakota Digital issues

Have you contacted Dakota Digital about this? I've had good results from their support.

Yes. They said to check connections. It’s worked perfectly for 10+ years. I guess a connection could come loose ??? Anyway I’ll pull the unit and check out the connections
