Hi
My speedo shut down approximately eight years ago. Tachometer was fine.
Decided to try once again to open the gauge cluster.
I looked at the long thin board (signal amplifier) and didn’t notice anything unusual. I decided to check the other side of the board and noticed there was a scorch mark and the copper tracks were a bit of a mess.
Turned the board over and noticed a very faint burn mark underneath a electrolytic capacitor the 10μf next to the green one.
I replaced the capacitor and applied deoxit to all the pins.
The speedometer and odometer now function correctly.
Anyone who has issues with their Speedo, I suggest a careful check of BOTH sides of the board.
Cheers
Gabriel
