Car acting crazy after paint job, please help! Options

[trdproven]

I just got my car back from my paint job. I noticed there was alot of dust from the overspray and all. However, when I turned on my car, my overdrive light keeps blinking. What is that?

Second, my miles per hour arrow goes crazy. Even if I just turn on my car the miles per hour goes from 0 - 60 back down to 0 then up to 140 then back down and then it does not move at all. My odometer, the one that counts each mile is moving by itself. I know my cluster was in good working condition. It also affected my transmission. My car will rev up high and the car won't move even with the car rolling, almost like the tranny isnt catching. So i started with L then moved my way up to 2 then back to drive, then it starts moving. but it seems like my car is downshifting almost like someone is turning off my overdrive.

Do you guys think that my intake or injectors got dirty from sucking in all that dust? Can I use injector cleaner?

Overall, this is a bad experience for me especially when all these things were working before I dropped it off. Maybe the body men were messing around with my car. I just hope someone out here can assist me figure this out. I'd appreciate alot.

might they have pressurewashed before painting and happened to spray water under the bonnet, cause shorts in the circuits?

My friend actually painted it at his shop with two other guys, what might have happened is there was a lot of overspray dust that got on there. Every morning or the first time I turn on my car for the day it works perfect until maybe about 5-10 miles the gauge cluster goes crazy (up and down or just stays down), my overdrive light keeps blinking and my auto trans gets out of gear or it downshifts on its own. I know its not a trans problem because my car is well maintained and it was fine before I dropped it off. If my trans was going bad, I would have seen it come slowly not just bam right away. I really believe it is an electrical/computer problem because if there is something wrong if the electrical then it affects the mechanical. could be from the dust, is there a harness or wire or sensor I can clean or check?
