Re: intermittent non-operation of '95 90q speedometer

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

Is the speedometer the only thing that goes dead?  If you're in a
position to stop the car, stop it, turn it off, and back on to the "on"
position so that the warning lights turn on, and see if they come up. 
It's possible that the circuit board in the instrument cluster has a
loose connection or broken trace.
