Ah!

Your problem is either the sender or connector in the rear end, or a problem with the instrument cluster or speedometer itself. If the latter, read up on the FAQ:

http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ElectricalInstruments.htm

http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ElectricalSpeedometerRepair.htm

Check that the solder joints are OK on the circuit board.

Our '91 740 had leaky capacitor syndrome. It was fairly painless to swap the guts from a spare speedo.

There's a thread on '91 740 speedo repair from a couple weeks ago with better disassembly instructions vs. what's in the FAQ.
