I have a 1990 and the speedometer kept dropping out to zero, which caused errors on the main computer and also the RWAL computer.

Removing the speedometer gauge from the panel (it pulls straight after undoing the screws), cleaning the contacts, bending the contacts in a bit so they were touching the pins better, and re-inserting the speedometer fixed the issue.

Took half an hour and $0.00.

For that year, it's an easy fix anybody can do, Chevy designed a great panel that year.
