Chip in dash cluster

The chip in the dash cluster, theres two, one plugs into a green plug and one into a red. I think its green. The green one, theres a wire that plugs into the chip from the odometer i believe. What i that for??? Ive been having issues with my gas gauge/speedometer and that chip looks pretty bad off, could that be the reason???

Yes, especially if it looks like the chip is discolored from overheating.

it kind of does. and the connectors whre it plugs in, one was chewed up pretty decently. i THINK my fuel sending unit is bad. and i don't have the tools to test it. i unplugged it and it didn't change, my speedometer, it stopped working all together a day or two ago. so NOW i don't know how much gas i have at all. i was able to go by trip, but not any more.... haha.
