speedo & boost gauge not working
Very Strange...
It's been forever since I drove this car but everything always worked the last time out (6 plus years ago). Now it seems that the speedo and boost gauge are not working. Is there a possible fuse or similar common point to check? All other gauges seem fine.
Thanks.

If it sat still for 6 years, my guess would be they're just stuck. (Congrats on getting back on the road!) Try going faster and boosting more, and tapping on the cluster (seriously). Both can get sticky if they don't move for a while. I can help you diagnose if needed though. My SpeedoBooster coincidently hijacks both of those two gauges, so I've done lots of R&D on their signals, etc.

LOL Like I said, I haven't driven it in about 6 years... I don't think I could have gone faster or boost more!
Though I will try tapping on the cluster and thank you for the offer to help trouble shoot. I will update when able.
Have a great day.

Hmmm, weird. I'm not aware of any common point of failure for just those two gauges (other than the cluster's circuit board and connectors in general). If they don't come back to life after driving and tapping on them, then I'd be inclined to test the signals. The boost signal if easy to test with a multimeter. The speedo signal can also be tested by turning the rear wheels VERY slowly and looking for the signal to go to ground 8 times per revolution.
