696 Speedo Not working

[kuzemko]

find a friend and double check before buying

Good idea. If I could find another 696 around here who wouldn't mind me swapping parts long enough to test, I would. I'll see who is around on the local forum. I would hate to spend $185 on something that didn't fix it.

I seem to recall reading over and over about failures in the speedo cluster after it got wet.  Didn't this problem start after riding in the rain?

Was the cure to dry it out with a hair dryer?

It's been baking hot here the last week or so in CT. Humid also though. Next chance I get, I'll see about removing the sensor and checking it all out more thoroughly. Hair dryer if it looks like that may help. Just seems weird that it lasted just fine in Seattle for a year with rain-riding and now out here it gives me a hard time after 1-2 days of rain. Who knows.

Tried everything but swapping it. No change.

2 days ago I unbolted it to show someone else what it looked like and put it back. Now it works. I give up. Hahaha
