1970 Volkswagen Beetle speedometer electrics.
I recently bought a new speedometer, after the stock one broke, for my 1970 VW bug from EIS (Econo International Supply) Parts and i cant seem to figure out how to get all of the electronics working again. I can get the backround lights and high beam light to work, but when i get those working my fuel gauge drops tp empty. and i cant seem to get the blinker light, battery light, or the oil light (in the speedometer) to... light up.
Ontop of that, the people i bought it from had and alarm system and a cd player installed so there is a hell of a lot more wires. And i cant find a wire loom for it anywhere.

make sure you check all the ground wires, even on the battery to frame
