1984 BMW 528e Speedometer does not work. I have replaced the gears in the speedometer head in the dash, changed the pickup in the rearend. Is there a most likely place that I should look for an electrical problem. I have an intermittent reading on the speedometer as I drive but then stops.

My E12 had a speedo cable connection behind the cluster, as I remember, which made the cable a two-piece affair. Perhaps there's a disconnect somewhere, or the cable to the trans is busted.
