Speedo...

Post by Matt » Wed May 27, 2015 9:48 pm

Ok so my speedo hasn't worked since I've owned my so, I've put a brand new cable in it, changed the speedo drive gear but still nothing? What else can I do?

drive along with the dash off and see if the cable turns....
disconnect from the transfer box end and turn it with a power drill....
