Every now and then the speedometer needle in my 88 Town Car goes nuts. Like at 30 mph it registers 100+ mph, and bounces/hunts all over the place. Odometer seems to be stable all the same.
After I bring the car to a dead stop, it still reads around 20 mph. It can do this for only a moment, or sometimes acts up for a full day or more. Very erratic how and when it happens. Can go as long as a year between crazy fits.
I haven't done anything to remedy this yet, some input would be just grand. I'm thinking about starting by lubricating the speedometer cable just to see if it helps.
