    Help! I have a 2002 L300. The needle for the speedometer
    and tach are acting bizarre: Staying at 0 as I accelerate, then jumping
    up to my speed, then when slowing down staying in place. Sometimes both
    needles moving in unison, other times not. Is there a computer that
    controls this?

  2. The speedometer and odometer get their data off the Class 2 vehicle data
    bus. It's possible that there's some kind of communications problem going
    on - a scan tool would likely be needed to tell you that - but it's also
    possible the instrument cluster is just busted.
