Are you able to start the car? My speedo did that when the battery was at the end of its life. Might be worth it to have battery tested.

You and way motor works mentioned the battery and I'm thinking that's the case. I can't still start it up bit sometimes it has to crank a couple times to get going.

Low battery does weird things. Go get it tested for free and replaced if necessary.
