I believe you will need to get a new cluster or a used good one.U can get them at ok prices at ebay. Com and get youself a better gas cap new. When something from cluster dont work is better to get a whole new one or used because its more expensive to fix one problem on it. And by the way u can install it ur self

I have the same problem that you have. What I did is that after the filling the tank and leaks, the fuel level quit working. So I had to order the filler neck from the dealer (250.00$) and a new fuel pump assembly (around 125.00$). The bad thing is that YOU MUST DROP the tank. Their was a crack in the rubber at the tank on the filler neck, and the fuel level bulb had a pinhole leak.

As far as the speedometer you can get one from the dealer for about 400.00$. Models years that will work are 96 and 97. The speedometer, fuel, electrical dashboard cluster comes in three peaces with the speedometer on the bottom of the 2.
