"two steps forward and one step back..."
OK, after removing the dash and speedometer again over the weekend, I checked all the wires again and found a loose connector. After fixing the plug to its socket, the speedometer background light was also burning again.
Finally, at long last, this ToDo was done....

I had also once connected the voltmeter with alligator clips and wires directly to the distribution panel in the engine compartment. Here I would have expected a small response. The pointer did not move a millimeter, so the original voltmeter is defective.
After some research, I still had the engine coolant topped off and also the windshield spray water.

Checking the windshield wipers showed, they sit bombproof, no idea why in the rain the left one unlocks every now and then. I have taken from a cotter pin drilling in the wiper arm first of all distance.

From the Venyl Dashboard are the screw sockets for the upper leftmost and upper rightmost screw of the dash cover broken out. Actually I wanted to fix that with perforated tape and some screws. Unfortunately I didn't find any more perforated tape with me, although I was convinced there would have been a roll lying around somewhere.
I polished the speedometer glass with an acrylic glass grinding paste. The result was satisfactory.
After reassembly, the day had passed and I drove the vehicle back to storage.

While parking in the underground garage I noticed that the rear right taillight was out, probably a loose contact. Again a ToDo more...
The following ToDo's are still open:
- Tailgate and window mechanics
- (4) Leakage during heavy rainfall
- 2te indicator light of generator 2 does not light up
- 4 WD lamp does not light
- Check fuel gauge
- Connect cigarette lighter
- Build screw socket for dashboard covers
- retrofit spare wheel
- a seat belt from the back seat is stuck
- in summer "interior painting"
- voltmeter line check
- Check both generators
Strange... it becomes simply not less ToDo's...
