Things are going wrong...

[bindi]

Well, no wonder I guess - IT'S A FORD!

I replaced the instrument cluster in the EA about 3 months ago, and last week the speedo started only working when you hit 40kph, then would drop to zero once you slowed down to around the 40km mark.

The other day it stopped working altogether... so now there's no speedo, no odometer and no trip meter (naturally, as according to the speedo we are going nowhere!).

I decided to get the old one out (which I kept) and took it apart to see how it worked. I knew that the only thing that stopped working on this old one was the trip meter (hence the odometer too). When I took it apart I didn't find too much wrong with it other than the actual trip meter button not mounted on properly.

This morning I swapped the one already in the car for the one I fooled around with... and the speedo didn't work. So I am thinking there may be something wrong with the wiring behind the cluster (can't see anything visible though).

Is there anything else I should be looking at? Can two clusters die in the same way so quickly? Is it worth sticking in another one and seeing if it does the same thing?

HELP, the NSW AFF meet is on Sunday, and I can't go if there is no speedo!
