 I currently am in this same situation.  Funky Speedometer.  It "sorta" works sometimes; it was perfectly fine until 20 months of inactivity due to car wreck.  I removed cluster, removed the 4 screws, folded back the blue foil.  I gently nudged the needle several times; my thought was that something was bound up.  It moved back and forth nicely; I moved it to extreme limits.  I was thinking it needed some "special" extremely lightweight lubrication that you apply with a toothpick....think watchmaker's oil...on the pivot points.  Well, I don't have any watchmaker's oil, 3-in-1 oil might be too viscous and mess things up.  So me too...I am looking for coaching on this situation.  There is a good speedo shop here in San Diego, and they probably have the correct lubricant.

 Hi all,

Does anyone have experience with the GW electronic speedometer? Or with repairing broken speedometers? Cable seems OK but speedometer has quit working.
