I suppose opening up the cluster, how to do it should be sort of obvious?

Hi!Not sure if I had put photos of this somewhere here in the past, but below are photos of the instrument panel from my 85 Bertone....as modified by a PO. Clearly, this person was committed to changing the layout. It appears to all work correctly (except....temp gauge is not connected in Lou of an external gauge...not sure if that is because of accuracy issues or what...and the reason it's out of the car is the tach is reading low). PO also installed LED lighting which is frightshow looking, but it does work & you can read the gauges.
So, I didnt know if this is a discussion or workshop topic because I removed it to look for obvious signs of something that would cause the tach to read low...obviously there are many...how about the needles? Are those stock & painted red/orange? When I first got the car I didn't notice the layout (had been a while since I'd had an X19), but I recall wondering why I felt like the tach was easier to see...ha!

Late model X1/9s have a reed switch inside the speedometer head. The rotating magnet in the speedometer causes the reed switch to pulse 3200 times pr. mile. The yellow wire goes from the reed switch and down to the black box mounted inside the console, which counts the miles and turns on the O2 sensor light every 30k miles.Hi!
Could you tell me what’s the yellow wire coming from the back of the speedo? Where does it connect?
Thanks
I always wondered how they accomplished that. Thanks!Late model X1/9s have a reed relay inside the speedometer head.
