My speedometer isn't working again and i jsut need somone to step by step tell me what to do. It peridoically stops working but agin hasn't worked the last 3 days. Usually will kick in but hasn't in three days. So what the hell? PLZ help, where the hell is the speedometer cable all i see is wires coming from the tranny. Is it on the driver or pasenger side? I found one running from the throttle cable area there is two running to it and the one running down behind the motor. The one coming in is from the gas pedal and then one is from a box. The cable exiting to the back isn't connect to either coming in but is connected to throttle. I need help desperetly before school starts again.Just tell me what i need to do with your sugestion do i need to get a dealer to look at it or can i do it myself. What do need to rteplace or fix? Help needed by anyone, anyone a former dealer mec hanic would greatly help.

 

What year of truck do you have? 4wd or 2wd? If it has a speedo cable then it will screw into the transmission or the transfer case towards the rear. Should be the only large cable back there. If it is a new enough truck (not sure when they changed over) it could have a speedo sensor that will plug into a wiring harness. If it is a cable you can take the instrument cluster out and pull out the speedometer core which is replaceable. If it is too damaged or frayed it might be stuck and you'll have to replace the entire cable assembly. Go to www.autozone.com, put in your year and model, then search for speedometer cable or speedometer sensor and see what it shows.
