Speedometer went out on my 96 Tracker. Tore into it to note that the speedo cable had become disconnected. (I hate the type that have a small plastic retaining clip) Reattached the cable and the speedo still does not work. So I dug into the problem a bit more. After reviewing the pages at fixkick here is what I have noted:
Connected the cable (at the sending unit) to a drill and the speedo turns.
Viewed the speedo sending unit with the vehicle running in gear (on jack stands); the sending unit turns.
Put it all back together and the speedo is dead but the trip odometer works.
No sounds or indications that the cable is binding.
Any thoughts on what the problem might be???
Thanks,
