Boy, I don't know for sure. It's been a few years since I did my repair so I just can't remember all the details. Honestly, I can't even remember if I've ever reset my speedo. I know that SkiDoo speedo clusters have a magnet in their switch, so maybe there's something similar? Sorry I can't be of any help here.

Take it all apart. I used a flat screwdriver to start prying the back of the bezel up, then used small flat pliers to carefully and evenly continue around the edge without wrecking it. The speed needle just pulls straight up.

Here's what's inside:

Those 3 legged guys are the things you want to unsolder and replace.

I found it easiest to nip the legs off with a small side cutter so I could unsolder and remove one leg at a time. I have a standard soldering iron and found it very difficult to heat up all 3 at once to remove the transistor as a whole.

Then you clean out the holes and install the new transistor & solder in place. It's a very easy repair, but a little fussy. To save myself $250-$300, I'd do it all day long.

I also took this opportunity to polish out the plastic lens because it was all milky looking. It came out crystal clear.

Attachment 14198

If your speedo is dead like mine and you've ruled out the simple stuff, why not give this a try. It's not going to get any more broken & hey, you might just fix it!
Good luck with your repair!
you wouldn't happen to still have some of these parts would you?
