For the mechanics out there.

Do all factory gauges have to work to pass safety or is it just the speedo?

Things like amp meter, temp. Oil pressure and fuel gauge.

Also if the wiper was an option for the year but yours had that option would it need one vs one without that option would not?

speedo plus light for it.
Wiper, might be tough convincing someone it was an option, best to have n working.

Not if it's suppose to be electric.
If equipped with crank should equal good to go.

I always thought that if it's in the car, it should be working. Gauges, lights, anything... Which is why I fixed things like the map light lol
