Default How Fast, How Far??? Blind as a Bat !!!

Another question for you guys, The speedometer display on my 90 model takes about 20 minutes to come on, even then it takes about 10 minutes to become completely functional :crazy: Is this a mechanical problem? an electrical problem? Is something going out? What can I do for this problem? :banghead:

Sounds like it may be a bulb or circuit board problem... :confused:

I really dont think it could be the bulb, the display comes on, but the digetial read out is what takes so long to finally appear. :rolleyes:

I have a low mileage instrument panel assembly that I had planned to sell, if you are interested. The instrument panel is pretty easy to replace, takes about 1 hour.

Bad circuit board or the speedo sensor at the tranny tailshaft.
