Sorry for the double post but I forgot to ask something else which may be related to the problem.
While cruisin, the speedo needle was "floating" anywhere from 5 - 8 mph. Tach needle was steady. Could this have anything to do with the brown wire breaking off or is this a seperate issue?
Thanks.

That is the speedometer cable sticking in the housing. You can disconnect the cable from the back of the speedo and pull the cable out. Lube it with a thin layer of grease, and put it back in the housing, then reconnect it. This usually works. I have done a LOT of them in various cars, including ours. Sometimes it dies not work and you need to replace the cable and housing to fix the problem.
