Gauges ?

Well, the other day i was driving, and my gauges were fine, speedo was working great and everything...(all but my tach and gas).

i go out the next night, and the backlight for my gauges is not coming on, and my speedo has stopped working ?

i took out the gauges, and the speedo cable broke off compleatly from the metal peice that goes into the back of the cluster...and i checked all of the lights in the gauges, all are still good, and none are blown... so if anyone has a speedo cable, could they sell it to me ?

also, give me some helpful tips on how to get my gauges lit back up...that or if someone has a new cluster for sale..(stock cluster that is...i like the orange ) that would be great as well! thanks

- Rob

get your self a voltometer and see if there is any power going to thise things...change the bulb anyway...be like a PI and go for it.

also, spedo cables are probaly wating to be found at any of your friendly neighborhood junk yards for a steal...just dont say how much an NOS part is.
