    Speedo no worky

    Hi gang

    Speedo in my 325 vert doesn't work. I've verified the sensor is working properly, and the wiring is fine at the plug under the back seat, with the correct 0/infinite resistance changes as the wheels turn. The signal is not present at the cluster, and I have 3 spare clusters to verify that it really is a wiring problem. Somewhere between the back seat and the cluster is an issue.
    Anyone have any guesses? I'd like to try find a potential area before I pull the entire interior apart to chase wires.

      "The two wires from the speedo sensor are the brown wire on pin 8 and the brown/red wire on pin 12 of the white plug to the cluster."

      Check for signal here. If yes, then it's a cluster issue. If not then you'd have to find the break or run new wiring.

        Yeah, no signal on the white plug. I am hoping there's a plug somewhere in the loom that's got water in it and somebody can tell me where the wires run so I can shortcut finding it
