I have been troubleshooting a nonworking speedometer that occurred after I had the instrument cluster out. I have done the following: 1. When I pulled the flexible shaft out of the upper housing and put it in the speedometer and twisted the shaft, the speedometer responded. I presume this means the speedometer is okay. 2. When I feed the shaft back down the housing and made sure that it had dropped into whatever hole is at the bottom, the shaft would not turn. Does this mean that I have gotten the shaft in the right position? 3. When I drove the van, the shaft was not turning. What does this mean? What do I do next? How do you troubleshoot the device the connects the upper and lower cables? Have I missed anything obvious? John Lauterbach Macon, GA '84 DL |
