PR speedometer follows rpm and dash beep stays on...???

well, this just started happening

when I start the car, the beep that usually goes away after a couple seconds is now always on. Oil and coolant levels are good and there are no lights or anything on the gauge cluster.

other than: the speedometer thinks it's a tachometer! it'll move with rpm with the car stopped.

ideas on what could be the cause(s)?? Thanks!

I would guess that it is a fault on the speedo board in the cluster. You don't happen to have a spare cluster or speedo to test?

I just went through this with my cluster and finally figured out the problem when my odometer quit. Replaced the two faulty capacitors and everything went back to normal.

Follow this thread on what to do.
