i know this has (kind of) been covered.

ive been using the blinking search button for half an hour or so trying to find the answer.

i did a single cam to dual cam KA swap, so i know i have to get a dual cam tachometer to install into my gauge cluster for that to work. and the speedometer was working for a while after the swap.

but a few days ago, my speedometer needle is stuck on the other side of the speedometer gauge. what is it that i have to do to fix this/make it operate normally?

do i need to get another speedometer gauge from another cluster, or do i just need to get a speedometer sensor?
