radio and speedo problems

[Les Ames]

97 ranger, purchased new in oct of 96. It has been a great truck and still is. sometime back the speedo quit working off and on, now the radio has also quit except for popping sounds and an short time working. I plan on going into the units soon, but thought u all would have some advice? The cruise control works fine so I think the sending unit i ok.

Any advice

For the speedometer, the cluster has that flexible circuit board that is connected to the gages with metal spring clips. They can loose their tension and not make a connection anymore.
