From NicoClub:
Most of the speedos and tachos in that era used balanced air-coils and not stepper motors, and what you're describing sounds like a low side coil with a crappy ground. It won't be a problem with the VSS because the car would be throwing codes, so whatever the problem is, it's almost certainly internal to the cluster. If you're handy, pop the cluster apart and look for degraded solder joints on the mainboard. Refreshing the solder connections will often fix up that sort of issue.
More n likely yeah
You’ve got no codes eh?
I’d second the internal grounding error then
There are a lot of people reporting the problem but that’s the only real helpful response I could find
take that baby apart and look for some corrosion
seems like it
You have any buddies that do? If you know what you’re looking for it could be a 5 cent or less repair
Ideally
Hmm

pfft
if you ping the snot out of me i should be able to help
but if that’s your only mode of transport i would wait until you’ve got someone in person
hopefully optional accessories?
that’s what i mean, they could be factory wires for accessories your vehicle was not fitted with
such as fog lights
etc
looks like accessory wire
are you the first owner of that vehicle?
i can almost guarantee that the previous owner cut out their fancy off road lamps or lightbar before sale
just by looking at the wiring
much better
haha probably a project car to learn how stuff works
i did some police outfitting and if i did a wiring job that bad i’d be fired real quick lol
cover it with black electrical tape
they can’t remove it unless they suspect you’re hiding something major
i’d get that fixed
or sell it as a junker/parts mobile
looks like it’ll cost more to fix then what you’ll end up getting out of it
yeahh…
i think she’s ready to be retired
if you keep her you can always do a full restoration
but those are long, expensive, and knowledge is a must
Just stay safe with her
