my speedometer cuts in and out at random. most of the time it is when i hit bumps and such. i have tightened all the wiring to the instrument panel but the problem persists. I am not able to follow the wiring to wherever it goes from the panel so I cannot determine if it is loose there. any help would be greatly appreciated.

there are a few spots on the back of the circuit board of the cluster that will need to be resaudered to fix this problem. I have had 3 neons all with this problem after saudering they all work great.

I have a 1995 dodge neon 5 speed and my speedometer started acting up. Well i found out that it is the plug in connections on the back of the speedometer. I went to the junk yard and got another one that was in really good shape and put it in my car today and everything works great now.
