Anybody ever have their tach and speedo stop working?

    I got into my '05 Civic EX today started it up, got out to load some stuff
    (let it warm up a little, too), got back in, and drove off to work. About
    a mile down the road was the first time I actually glanced down at the
    instrument cluster. WTF! Tach and Speedo at 0. I was going 30mph
    (roughly).

    Never seen that before. So, I turned the key off and then back on (yes,
    while I was driving and no I didn't engage the starter). Gauges came back
    on.

    That was real wierd...never seen that in any of my Hondas...any idea why it
    happened? I don't know if it was that way from the time I started it up
    since I didn't look at the instruments.

    Any idea what would cause this?

    I have an Accord Type R and recently had the car serviced and cambelt
    changed the next day I was driving on the Motorway and the ABS light came
    on and the tach and speedo flicked back to o it came back then did it
    several times. I went to a Honda dealership and it appears that the Main
    Loom to the Alternator Green Plug was not routed correctly and had come
    loose. Hope this of some help.
