speedo stops when dash lights on...
 
OK, the speedometer in my 1988 930 stops working when the dash lights come on; really. The needle drops to "0" as soon as the guage lights up. Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,

RD

Sounds like a weak common ground connection somewhere behind the intruments

RRD,

I got your pm, I have a similar problem...works without lights on but doesnt give accurate reading.

what are the voltage ranges for the signal wires? it would be easy to test if I am getting a signal.

JF,
I can rewire a ground easy enough, ill try it out

Yes,...ground checks first.

Best,

Doyle
