intermittent speedometer problem
Hey guys, I'm having an aggravating problem with my speedo. It will intermittently stop working. I had it apart a couple of years ago to do the gear replacement and everything went fine. Here recently it will stop working for a few seconds, just enough for cruise to drop out and then return to working again. I've checked/cleaned/reseated the connection behind the speedo and it doesn't seem to be there. Where are there any other connection points for the speedometer circuit?
TIA,
Randy

Had a similar problem with mine, the speedo needle would just drop but tapping the glass would sometimes bring it back to life...for a while.
After removing and dismantling, I found a dry joint on the PCB, so I resoldered all the joints.
Never had the issue again.

Highly recommend sending your gauges for repair or restoration to Harmut @ Palo Alto Speedometer.

I just noticed that a post that I posted back in 2013 just surfaced. My speedometer works 90% of the time. I’ve tried cleaning/ checking the connections and never found what the true issue is. I guess I need to pull it and send it out to be checked. I remember when I was looking into causes I seen where folks had sent them out for repair and came back as nothing was wrong with the speedo. I can’t remember where it gets the signal from.

Another vote for Hartmut at Palo Alto. He just serviced mine and I couldn’t be happier.
