I am wondering if anyone else has to have the e-brake up one click while driving otherwise the speedo. goes and sits at 0. And what have you done to fix it.

the speedo shouldn't be effected since it is driven by cable and gears.

The only thing i could think that is happening is that the little switch on the ebrake handle that triggers the light is some how miswired/shorted... I guess i would have to take a look at my wire diagram to actually see where it goes and what i could cause problems with.
