    No idea. I took the shifter back off and made sure it was in neutral, put it back on and it works great.

    So my speedometer and odometer both stopped working. All fuses are intact. Dome light also not working. Any ideas?

    Could be a loose ground to the back of the instrument cluster.
    Do the lights come on in the dash/instrument cluster?

    I took out all the fuses and cleaned the prongs with a wire brush and it all works now. Wtf

    Put some dielectric grease at each fuse to distribution box contact point.
    Corrosion between the fuse and brass holders on the distribution block,
    Dissimilar metals causes it, the grease will stop oxidation.

    Parts stores have it with the silicone gasket makers, or ask for a tiny package of "bulb grease".

    So I was finally getting tired of my crappy, bare bones interior. The seat was saggy and grease stained, no carpet, bad. So I made a trip downtown to pick n pull and grabbed a seat, carpet, and a few odds and ends for $43. Found an Eddie Bauer to salvage from and now I'm living the life of luxury.[​IMG]
    I also got this 22" light bar on amazon prime day for $35 , but I'm gonna get some chrome bumpers before I mount it.
