Check all of the fuses and look at fuses under the hood of the car. If the tach works but speedometer doesn't you need to replace the speedometer. Fan doesn't blow on the heater or the fan blows but no heat?

Suggested Repair

Check all fuses, including those under the hood. If the tachometer works but the speedometer does not, replace the speedometer. For the heater, determine whether the blower does not run or runs without heat, and inspect wiring that may have been disturbed during the stereo installation.
