i have a stock 2000 rousch mustang 5 speed v6 100% stock with 56k miles. here is the youtube clip of the problem, this was sitting in neutral in the driveway.youtube link the speedometer goes crazy for for a while and usually starts working after driving the car a bit. i did the built in cluster diagnostic test and it will jump around also on the lcd readout scren and with a obd2 reader it will do the same also. the car used to have some crazy lights and a huge system in it before so im wondering if that had messed the electrical up or something. ive tried the searching and looked but cant find any answers. thanks

Check the ground behind the center console. It's shared by multiple devices including the radio. It's frequently messed up during a radio install.

Take the radio out and follow the black wire. There are several coming together at the same point.
