This is the second time this has happened. Lost all instrumentation: speed,fuel,rpm,etc,at 50mph. Just prior to this, the abs light came on. The first fix included a new battery last year, three alternators until one worked (do not think this was the problem), and some kind of a harness which was rubbing on the engine? and creating a short. This problem could be the reason for all the car fires. Thank you.
