The speedo in my Level 3 VN dash has gone dead!
I've swapped a couple of speed sensors over, but the problem still exists.
I've also swapped a couple of speedos (not the entire dash cluster), but no change.

Speedo was working fine a few days ago, and the rest of the dash is working as it should. |

Rev counter & neutral works fine, so I guess it's not a wiring problem....at least not in that area.
I don't use the cig lighter so that rules that one out, but I'll check the earth |

the flexible circuit card, that raps around the back of the dash cluster can break.
i have found a few speedo's and tacho's with this problem.
basically the signal runs to the plugs in your main dash, attatch to the dash cluster, they then run to the ga
