Speedometer went dead, but only the speedometer

[Science Abuse]

Symptoms; Needle doesn't move. In the weeks before, it would occasionaaly drop dead for a second or less, them pop back to life.

Cruise control works, all the other gauges work, everything hanging out the side of the transmission looks good.

So... Is this something just inside the speedometer gauge?

Thanks

Assuming that the odometer is working correctly, then it would be either the servo for the speedometer or the circuit board of the cluster. It may be that you only need to open up the cluster and unplug and re-seat the speedometer portion.

1997, LSC. Cluster looks identical to the clusters I've had in my 95 and 96 Thunderbirds.

I can try popping it out and futzing with it. Hopefully I'll find a part number sticker while I'm in there.
