Hey guys,
So my Creamsicle has finally seen a road after about 1.5 year of jack stands time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Now the speedo didn't work so I changed the cable. I see other cars passing by like a rocket while going at 65pmh so the speedo needle is way off??? I will check this with a GPS today. Anyways, the odometer is not working at all. This is a bigger problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Has anyone encountered the same and succeeded to repair??? The speedo works(barely) but odo does not. Let me know. Thanks, kkid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Since it's a rare LE & you're in the Bay area, it may be worth your while to pull all of your gauges & take them over to Palo Alto Speedo for the speedo/odo repair/resto & to have them restore the rest as needed.
You can certainly do gear rebuilds yourself, if you're at all handy with small stuff. BTW - you can also check your speedo with the ever more common in CA radar "your speed is XX" signs popping up everywhere. But it may just be that our fellow CA drivers are just more "lead footed"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just a thought! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
