Jim,
Could be one of a few things; (You'll want a "munchkin" to get up behind
the dash :))
1) the bulb in the holder finally burned out. "easy" to check and
replace...
2) The d**n "clips" that hold the bulb assembly to the rear of the
speedo have broken off resulting in poor grounding (dim bulb to start)
and finally no light (it fell off) I believe that you can get a replace-
ment from Sunbeam Specialties or Classic Sunbeam, and resplice it in.
3) You have not appeased the "Prince of Darkness" aka Lord Lucas, and
human sacrifice is necessary at this point. Find the owner of a Geo
Metro and....well, you know what to do ;)
