82 Speedo, lights, gauges not working
Hay guys, just picked up my 1982 Berlinetta from storage and my Speedo does NOT work, neither does the mileage ticker. Everything else works fine until. . . I turn on my dash lights then everything STOPS working! Any input would be amazing!!!!! Short? New cluster? Will any cluster work in the car? helphelphelp

Divide and conquer. Check for open ground(s) for the dash light problem.
Your 82 is probably driven by a cable for the speedometer/odometer.
Make sure it’s still turning.

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards
When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.
How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!

Re: 82 Speedo, lights, gauges not working
as far as the speedo, mileage, yes run by cable, so check that, and also make sure it is properly being run by the gear at the tail of the tranny, for the others, id say check for a short or bad fuses, probably corrosion actually since its been stored, look around the fuses everywere and see if theres any corrosion, then take apart and look at the grid for the dash and make sure theres no corrosion there. If everything worked fine before, then some sort of corrosion has most likely occured maybe in the curcuit print for the guages
