you're gonna need a voltmeter to track down the short, maybe a ground wire is off somewhere.

i bought a speedo with tach from the junkyard for my eg, and ever since the speedo goes haywire and stops working if i go 45 or 75 for more than a minute or so straight, or if it is wet or really cold.

I cleaned all the contacts on the PCB and connectors, but no luck. I just blame it on the shitty junkyard cluster that was sitting exposed to the elements for months

I had that problem on my civic, I took it to an auto electrician.

He fixed it and told me that a farly common cause is a cable rubbing on the intake manifold, round behind the engine, you need to get the car up in the air and look for it from underneath.

Try disconnecting then reconnecting it first.

My buddy had a similar prob. Just doing like the 15mph the speedo would go from 15 to like 120 and back and forth. He took it everywhere. Ended up being a 5cent fuse
