Default Are my eyes playing tricks on me? *speedometer problems*
I just noticed this morning that when I braked, my speedometer drops and then picks up again? It looks like it cuts out for a split second, then gets back up again. This ONLY happens when I step on the brakes....I also noticed that my lights dim for a split second as well too.

This is on a 98 Civic EX automatic, with around 80k miles. Mods only include I/E. I'm thinking it's something electrical...but have no idea where to start looking?! Anyone have this happen to them?...or know what's up with this screwy car?

Check the ground from your engine wiring harness to the thermostat.
