    speedo & radio go randomly dead

    so while im driving down the road my speedo will randomly stop working along with my radio. after a few minutes in generally comes right back on. I checked the fuse and such and it was fine. Any ideas?

    I had this exact problem until I replaced the batteries in my SI board. I was under the impression the SI board was not involved in power to the OBC and speedo but it has not happened since the SI battery replacement.

          Remove cluster and open it up in half. You will see the SI board nested in the face of the cluster.

            Mine actually ended up bring a bad connection at the fuse box. If i wiggled the fuse (fuse 12) it would cut out. Cleaned the terminals and good as new
