Speedo Cutting Out video

Hi all. Happens only at highway speeds. My speedometer cuts out, there is a chime, and several of the warning lights flash. Its intermittent. Will go entire day without doing it, then it will happen. If I have cruise control on, that will cut out as well. 2008 Patriot 2.4L with manual transmission. My first instinct is the TIPM, but now Im thinking maybe its a speed sensor. Thoughts appreciated.

One last suggestion, the ABS module uses an engine bay ground (G110) on the passenger side down by the windshield washer tank that can corrode in and around the crimp causing all kinds of issues including speedometer drop outs. if it's corroded, the fix is cutting the old eyelet off, stripping the wires to good metal, then adding a new eyelet.




Unrelated, but if you haven't already, you should check the sub-frames for rust.
