Default v8 instrument cluster

1990 v8 instrument cluster has 3 very small ganged together toggle switches on the lower, outside of the instrument cluster between the temp guage and tach. Anyone know what they are for? speedometer and odometer quit working when I removed the cluster to replace light bulbs , then reinstalled cluster>>> any connection to these switches??? thanks Dale

Default More likely dirty contacts. Did your dash have ribbom cables or long pins...

to connect between boards? Those switches are probably the same as for the 200 models. They adjust in 5% increments or something like that. See SJM.
