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.luke wrote:well i just got worse the comp it telling me that the oil press is low bbrake flued low clocks are telling me to STOP ....... ow teamster all the clocks are reseting do you still think its the wires in the foot well?
