Default Speedometer not working

My speedometer is not working. I did the FAQ section and re-sodder the pins in the diagram. Now it doesn't work at all. Any ideas. I even bent the pins.
Where can I get a new card if necessary? What is the price? new or old
Will a junk yard off a used Neon work?

Thanks Tony

No well only sometimes. The other lights and gauges worked. Now none of it is working.

solder it again and add a bit of solder. Do not use one of those cheap cool to the touch soldering irons.

Streetracer,
I would be interested in the cluster. I don't need a tach gauge. I did not find anything on ebay. How can we get together on price and shipping?

I will try to email you. I have re solder this 3 times. Think circuit board is bad.

Tony
