I'm sure my salvage yard can fix me up but all the replacements wreak havoc with my record keeping due to different odometer readings. Maybe a good rebuilder someone can recommend? BTW it is the Yazaki and not sure if the VDO is a direct replacement?

Greetings,

I've 4 clusters for my 86 744 GLE which I collected trying to fix a bad speedo/odometer. I found out quickly that the Swiss and Japanese clusters plug in OK, but the speedo and other gauges may not be interchangeable at all.

I ended up settling for a replacement 86 Swiss speedo with a non-functioning odometer (a great gift from a fellow brickboarder). Better to know how fast I'm going, than how far I went. Best I could do with all these parts!

If you want a picture or description of any of these gauges, boards etc. send a note. I've got one 1986 and two 1987 clusters sitting out, one is being used as a clock in my office, with lights!

Cheers.

Greg

Are you sure it is the speedo and not a bad connection in the cluster. I went and picked up a another cluster at the salvage yard $60 and swapped in my speedo and it worked. Usually it is the printed board on the back of the cluster not the speedo that goes bad.

That's certainly worth a look. The odometer works but the speedometer works intermittantly and I do have another cluster with a bad speedo, so for a couple hours labor I'll check it out, my labor is much cheaper than $677.
Thanks for the tip!

maybe just tightening the printed board attatching screws would help, fixed my fuel guage ; )

Last night I swapped the printed circuit and in the process found a loose screw on the speedometer attaching screws. Speedometer now works but I lost my OD light. Not a bulb problem! I just might swap back to the original printed circuit.
