How do the black/blue and white/green wires get separated from the speedometer for removal? There aren't any spade connectors like the brown ground wire - don't want to randomly tug on the wires. Tried searching - didn't find anything other than "mark the wires before removing them"
-Thanks  |

I think those should be light bulb plugs so you should be able to just pull them out!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) But be careful, after 40 years the bulb sockets don't always want to come out very easy. You can pry them up a little with a small screwdriver between the gauge back and the bulb socket. |

Bulbs out - check (thanks again). Next questions before I pull the speedometer apart:
-When messing with the trip odometer reset, I noticed that it also advances the regular odometer? When I get the trip odometer back to 000, the regular odometer advances 1 mile... -If this is "normal", could there still be a gear problem between the speedometer cable and the odometer (plan on fixing via the Pelican Parts method)? UPDATE: Guess it's not normal. Gear fixed per the Pelican Article and now everything is kosher (took about 2 hrs) |
