speedometer...you guess, I win!
 
My speedometer stops working only after I reverse quickly. If I then drive forward.... for a few minutes, it comes back on.

Do you think it is definately the speed sensor?
...or could it be in the speedometer itself.

I would rather know your input before I buy the $80 sensor.
FYI- I am historically the king of replacing whats not broke!!

Never messed with speedo`s myself but if there electronic try connecting the speedos wires to a multimeter and drive around and see what voltages you are getting.
if you are getting no voltage after reversing and going forward its your sender otherwise its your speedo.

I'm going to go out on a limb here:

The electronic speedo in the SC "does not care" which wire is plugged into which connector. Can you swap the connectors? I'd like to hear from someone more knowledgeable before you actually try this. It made a difference on mine and a couple of other Pelicanites. The majority of the time on the SC it makes no difference. FWIW.
