    Default Do I need a new speedometer?

    The top started to fade last week. Today I notice that black blob near the bottom. Not sure if someone is damaging my speedometer.

    Default Interesting....🤔

    I would pull it out check all the connections to the cluster, check battery connections and ground connections. Next would be anything new added such as LED lights or other electrical work that may have tapped into the system... Usually see that kinda of fade when in direct sunlight to long during a trip but that clears up the next day...

    The fade does happen with too much direct sun. & the black blob is usually like a calculator screen that has pressure issues, may need dealer inspection the fade may be what is pooling there is a protective screen that should show cracks or scratches if was someoone vandalizing. Let us know when you do find out.
