I had no idea the dash circuit did so much. I finally got mine up and running great, all I have left is the left window actuator, and it's not broken.. the nub just seems to have a part missing where it goes below the window. I have that piece it slips in... but it doesn't fit right, so I think something is gone. I know it's best to replace the speedometer cables with new. However I found a fix when the cable housing breaks off behind the white piece that slips over the speedometer housing. I used 1/2 inch heater hose, and gooped the plastic piece in the hose, and then slipped the housing cable into the bottom of the hose, and used a small hose clamp right on the big part. It works like a new one. Just my 2 cents..! Lyle Lathem Wills Point Texas 1985 Vanagon GL |
