inoperable speedometer
inoperable speedometer
Help!
Had a friend meshing with wires in the dash, now the speedometer doesn't work. All the dash lights work, fuel gauge works, but no speed.
Is there a fuse for it besides the ones that are under the dash?

Re: inoperable speedometer
speedo is not electronic.
have a replacement if you need it. Check the cable first.

Re: inoperable speedometer
And what about my horn, it stopped working at the same time.
when I unplug the cable from the speedo and drive, the wire in the cable doesn't spin or move at all.
Is there a good place to get a wiring diagram for these?

Re: inoperable speedometer
he considers himself an expert on VERY little apparently, except for teaching me a lesson on who i have work on the truck!
After more reading, and finding a cable hanging by the transmission, looks like somehow the speedo cable come undone from the transmission.
does anyone have a picture of where it screws back in to the transmission, or a good description?
