Re: speedo fried- Need help fast 200 1990

On my 87 (no tach)the size of the connectors is the key. As your sitting in the car looking at the face of the panel the one with the small connector (beleive yellow) goes to the bottom right hand corner. The other wire goes onto the larger spade that would be at approx. 3 o'clock as you look at the front of the speedo. The small connector will not fit on the larger spade. I beleive this may a double spade connector but it makes no difference which spade you plug into, only that you don't plug the tach wire into anything. Of course the three wire goofy "L" shaped connetor goes to the speedo circuit board. Wonder if your problem might be with this connector as it may not be connecting. It is a touchy s.o.b.

I need to take mine back out anyway and will do this tonight. I will look closer at wire colors and get back with you.
