Welcome in Luke! :)
What do you mean by the mileage resetting? The odometer? That would suggest the cluster losing power; may be worth spraying and reseating the connectors on the back.
Also check the multiconnectors in the drivers footwell; this is a common corrosion point and can cause weird faults.

From the sounds of it yes I would check those connectors. Pull them apart and look for corrosion on the pins.
