Sounds like your problem wasn't in the speedo itself but the left control switch if you can't toggle through the menu.You can try some electrical spray in the cracks and crevices of the switch and see if you restore function of the yellow button. Plus a check of the wiring and connectors leading into this switch are common problem areas also.This button along with the rest of the switch has too many functions that can fault. If you narrow it down to a faulty switch Partzilla shows to be cheapest at 78 bucks in the cart.4011835 CNTRL-LH,HI/LO/OFF,2P,SEP $78.38 Plus check speedo connector itself for any pins that may have pulled back,not making good contact. IF you're not getting power at all to the speedo or ignition switch,lights,etc,could be a simple cheap thermal circuit breaker. Located in a plastic pouch up from the battery. See if you have voltage going in and out. If not,slice the pouch open and check the breaker,could be corroded. You can get these at any auto store for about 7 bucks.

Thanks for the info. Found the plug that goes into the switch lost connection. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in everything started working. Thanks again for the help.
