Muganic Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 The speedo head in my Dodge has locked up and screwed the cable off. Any one had any experience dealing with this, or is it straight to an auto instrument shop? Quote
Frank Gooz Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Muganic I had what mite have been the same thing. I took out the speedo and it would not turn. There is a oil wick in a tube that has a screwdriver slot. Take that off I applied a few drops of light oil in the speedometer. I let it sit for a few hours upright ( as mounted , no oil to drip on the face)and tried to move it with a pair of plyers and a the piece if broken cable. I oiled the wick as it was dry. I used a little 3 in 1 brand Heavy and a few drops of 10w that I had open. The speedometer stated to move with the plyers and then by hand after that i used the piece of cable and my cordless drill on low speed . Mine works just fine no bouncing and very accurate according to the GPS in my phone. Sorry you got the whole blow by blow. Good Luck 1 Quote
