Look under the archives under "instrument cluster repair"
Sounds like a possible IC circuit board trace break.

Hi again,

Not sure what has happened to my subscription.  I thought I was dropped & 
resubscribed since I haven't had a single email or digest since Jan 25, 
2004.  After re-subscribing I received notice that I AM still subscribed.  
Anyone have this happen?

Enough of that and on to the problem.  The latest issue to correct is a 
failed speedometer & odometer.  The speedo started to bounce from 0 to 60 
for a bit then just stopped working.  Same for the odometer - no mileage on 
either the trip meter or the total mileage meter.  I don't have my Bentley 
on hand 'cause I left it in my friends shop after we replaced the steering 
rack, ball joints & lower control arm.  Is this a known issue or am I just 
lucky?

TIA,
