If  Ben's idea doesn't work, you can disassemble it.  Mine recently had the
opposite problem; the minute button was not having any effect because the little
pad that contacts the circuits board was dirty and non-conductive.
  You pull off the cover over the instrument cover, unlatch and pull out about 4
switches etc., disconnect the speedo cable, and the connector for power and
signals, and bring the whole thing to a clean and well lit work surface.
  I don't remember the details, but with a little screwdriver and a little
determination you can get to the buttons.  Just remember carefully how things
came apart.
  Good luck,
