So, what are the causes of a wigglie speedometer needle?
I just need a list so I can check everything. I think the head unit is fine. The cable is newish. . but not routed in the original manner (and I have not checked it, I didn't do it) Lubing the cable from the top does not help Thanks Sean |

Since the cable was replaced the needle bounces from zero to thirty until the car gets up to about 30 mph. |

A kink in the cable, even a relatively small one, is usually the cause of this.
