Rob,

sounds like water is getting in the connector. pull the pass rear wheel off, fender well and clean the connector and wrap it in electrical tape to keep it dry.

Rob, don't you mean you've only DRIVEN it in the rain once? :-)

For some reason, my odo and speedo stop working in the rain. Although I've only had it in the rain once in 30 months.

Just think how long and/or many times it didn't work on your car before you bought it as well as how many other Ferraris out there showing very low miles as well

Buy a speedo sending unit. Dennis McCains has them for $100. That is the ONLY fix for it.

You need to remove the Pass side rear wheel, fender well, remove the sending unit from the transaxle and install new one. It takes about 1/2 hour from start to finish

The speedometer on my '77 308 is inop. Prior to full failure, it worked off and on. The odometer is also dead. Is there a quick fix to this?
