if you really did mean your speedo went out and not your odo, you might want to check out your alternator if you keep having electrical probs. other than that, i dont know anyting about electrical shaith.

hey i could be wrong, id look into it more before buying a new one. check all your grounds, maybe look around in the engine bay and listen for weird noises from your alt.
