Default 96 neon gauges messed up?

ok so i have a 96 neon and the speedometer went first, then the light behind the temp , then i started it one night and the lights for both blinkers were flashing. Ive noticed that if i hit on the dash really hard in the right place it will make everything work again. Any ideas?

mine does the same thing the speedometer will work when I first start mya car during the day then it will just drop when I'm driving shortly after. It works for awhile but then it drops and stays down. Don't know why? Help?

That would be called the VSS gear.

you can replace it with any 1st gen cluster with or without an RPM gauge.
