RedFive Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I was searching for a solution to this, but it seems like I'm the first to have this problem. I highly doubt that. Maybe somebody can help... My speedometer began ticking recently and oscillating. So I'll be going 50 and it'll be waving from 45 to 55 mph. If I wind the trip meter up it stops doing it and goes back to normal for a few seconds and then slowly starts to do it again. When this started happening the trip meter got stuck -- either it doesn't move or all the digits move together. I've got the whole thing apart. The obvious replacements are the speedo cable and the little spring cable that connects the trip meter knob to the back of the speedo, but which one is the culprit? Or is it both? And where do I find that little spring cable deal for the trip meter? I didn't see it on autozone.com. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Most likely the speedo cable. Check it to see if it has any lubricant in it at all. If not, lube it up, and see if your problem goes away. Also make sure it's routed properly and is not binding somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFive Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah, it's not binding. What do you do, just splash some 3 in 1 down the tube and call it good? What do I do about the trip meter cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
