Re: Trying to find the vsb (vehicle speed buffer).

I have the same issue on my '89. I've mentioned it before; the speedo drops off to zero when I'm driving down the road and I hear the engine change tone since the speedo is tied in to the ECM and is in the process of going open loop. I give it the "Fonzie whack" on the face of the cluster and the speedo starts working. I've tried re-soldering micro-opens on the circuit board and that hasn't worked yet or I didn't find the right connection points. So in the meantime I use the cruder repair method.
