Is this your entry for the most useless picture contest?

Passenger side rear cable would be the speedo.

driver side mid rear would be the backup light switch

top side rear is ground strap to the chassis.

Anything else and it probably isn't supposed to be there.

Speedo cable.

On the difficult to replace scale 1-10: mine have been a 3 and a 7
Depends on 2 things, corrosion and the size of your hands.

Good luck

It would have been easier to tell you what we think it is if you told us whether it's driver side or passenger side. The photo doesn't help a whole lot unfortunately.

That being said, I'm leaning towards back up light switch. Wires either broke or the connectors did, and it just popped out.

Edit: just read the part about the speedo. It's a very good possibility that it's the speedo cable then. Either way, easy fixes.

OK brother what are we looking at here? That is NOT a great pic . Guessing this is the passenger side. Can you shoot a wider photo from the back underneath the car? As stated before it's most likely the speedo cable since it quit and now you find this dangling cable that happens to look like a speedo cable...but...stranger things have happened.

Guys can someone post a helpful pic of a speedo cable entering the trans? I'd do it but my 901 is under a tarp on the floor of the garage.

Is it on the passenger side? And does it look like this? If so it's the speedo cable.



Thanks jimkelly for the pic! Just happened to be scrolling through your thread and found it. Should be in the garage.

That's the flux capacitor harness. Just disconnect it like the rest of us have so your car will run like a proper underpowered 4 cylinder...
