Electrical problem, I think..... S70 1999

My 99 S70 na is starting to worry me. The other day, I was leaving my house and the dash brake warning light came on, the odometer and trip meter went to all dashes, and the speedometer stopped working all at once. A few miles down the road, the dashes were replaced by numbers, the brake warning light went out, and my speedo started working again. I'm thinking a short or a loose connection somewhere, but have no clue as to where to start looking. Maybe some of you have ran across this problem before. Any help you guys can give wil be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    That sounds like the ABS module is taking a dump. If it happens again, the dealer will put in a speed sensor (they seldom go bad), and tell you it will cost mega bucks to replace the ABS module. Vic will fix it for $140 plus postage.

    Read this and learn the symptoms:

      Thanks Klaus! I have seen that page before, but couldn't remember where I had seen it or how to find it again. My ABS light has been coming on pretty regularly and I was getting kind of worried that I would have to purchase a new one. I didn't know that the abs would interfere with my speedo and odometer. I'm not sure if I will send it in now though. The car is on eBay and should end Saturday. If it doesn't sell, I will go ahead and have it repaired by Vic. If it does sell, I will supply Vic's info to the winning bidder so they will have an option other than going to the dealer to have it fixed. Thanks again! Oh, and if any of you are interested, the car is here:
