    Hello, I have a problem, my speedo works intermittently when my dipped beam lights are on, it works fine with side or no lights, I have replaced the regulator and the battery is charging, any ideas would be gratefully appreciated,
    Thanks

    The speed starts to register, then drops back to zero, as the revs build, the needle becomes steady, at higher speeds it starts to drop to zero, then again rises, and repeats, if I turn dipped beam off, the speedo works normally

    The wires for your speedo are as such

    Earth Green/black share the same earth as everything

    live black/ brown Common live for instruments and for speedo sensor.

    Pink speedo sensor

    First check all the connections.
