Default Strange problem

Recently encountered a strange problem with my 01 FLHTCUI while riding across the country. Encountered a ton of rain for a few days and after that my speedo started acting up. Lost my cruise control for a while. That straightened itself out but now, when the bike is hot the oil pressure guage jumps around sometimes. When it's doing that the bike idles rough also. When turning on the ignition switch it will even jump over to 60 lbs before I hit the start button.One shop told me that a bad speed sensor could do that. My local shop doesn't think so. Anybody had this happen?

It's only a 5 minute job to pull that sensor out , clean it and put it back. Be careful of the oring...
