Speed-o-meter

On the way home to night I happen to glance down and seen the speedometer needle drop to 50 and back up quickly, at this time a light flashed quickly just above fuel guage and one chim. Then it was over. So anyone know what this means? Im sure it will happen again.

Check for codes ~ you probably have one.

Prairie is right (although the MIL will usually be illuminated if you do have codes).

This could be the (in)famous MIL-and-chime bug from 2003-2004. It's covered by this TSB. But I've never heard of it in combination with movement in the speedometer as you describe.

Step 1 is to check for codes.

I checked and no codes at this time.

I suggest keeping your eyes peeled. It may very well be a subtle variation of the old random "ding" and MIL or "Check Gauges" flash.
