Default Dash lights and speedometer acting crazy

My 2000 Cherokee 6 cy has 62k miles.

Today, I heard a beep, looked at the dash, and the brake light was on, the ABS light was on, the speedometer would sporadically go from 0 to 100 mph reading and the odometer light would flicker on and off.

I pulled over, turned engine off for 1/2 hr and when I restarted, the lights never came back on and the speedometer/odometer was normal.

What the heck is going on? What do you folks advise me to do?

Thanks,

Pops

ya know mine occasionally goes out, like completely dead, on my 97' and I rectify the situation with a short punch to the dash; its corrected the problem so well, on the few times it happens, that I haven't made the time to get back there and look. Unless you have some electrical experience I imagine it will be difficult to diagnose...
