so i was driving around last night, only going 35mph. and out of no where all of my dash and warning lights turn on, the needles on all the guages jump up and then went back down, and the trip reset itself. the car was still driving, i could shift, and the radio worked.



what the heck could this be?

it's a 1999 chevy camaro z28 M6

not sure but my water temp gauge did the same one day, so i disconnected the batt for awhile and has been ok since

Yep, sounds like a Gm. You don't need all those bells and whistles to drive the car, they are just extras they put into the build.

Like metalmechanic said, discon the battery, let sit for 15 mins, reconnect.

ill give it a try. i have never had something like this happen before. is it typical for everything to react like that.

sounds like a grounding issue

I had this same exact problem happen to me. A few minutes later it happened again but the car shut off. I jiggled the wiring going to the engine fuse box and it started back up. Then i heard a "bzzzzzzzzz" sound while driving until a loud "POP", and it never happened again after that.

i see your cars a 99...possibly need a new battery...99s had some funny *** **** where if the battery was low it would reset all of the gauges

i know you were driving, but its worth a shot

i just put an optima red top in thee car about half a month. i disconnected the battery and let it sit for 30 min. and then plugged it back in. the car hasn't had the problem again but i am waiting.

this is the second time this happened and i will be checking the grounds later.

Loose Ground, bad battery, or wet fusebox.

I think the plastic gear in the headlight motor is getting stripped.
