Thanks.
The gauge uses two separate electric motors, one two drive the speedometer iteself, and a second stepper motor that drives the odometer/trip odometer. Check that the gauge's electrical connections are seating securely in the cluster (use some contact cleaner or the like) and put the unit back together. The speedometer just has simpe friction-fit connections and it's possible for the odometer motor's connection to come loose without the speedometer motor also coming loose.
