I'm at the end of my wits. I need some help with my speedometer.
It keeps randomly going bad.

Ive tested my speed sensor and it works fine.
I put in just the speedo from the new cluster into my old one to maintain the old odometer. I test it on jackstands and it works. The car ends up sitting for a week while i do other stuff. I test it again before i button up my interior and its randomly broken again. Stuck at 40 mph even when the engine is off.

This is the second time a speedo has randomly broken on me when the car just sits. The first time, the car sat for a month and it ended up getting stuck at 45 mph.

Ive done the usual, push in and pull on the needle for no gain. Has anybody else had this issue?

Na, I'm still running the stocker KA24E that gets no love. I'll double check the wiring to check for shorts in the morning I guess.

Tired of clusters constantly breaking on me. Might just save up and make a broadfield-ish cluster with a gps speedo.
