Hi

The speedo should work if the same transmission with the electronic speed sensor is still connected, the tacho needs to be wired to the distributor.
Is the ECM still there? can you see any temperature or fuel level display?

Can you see the dash display with sunglasses on?

The dash can fade due to UV and heat damage and Batee has the repair kits if that is the case.

Click the link below to batee's website, there is lots of info on the common failures.
