Veteran Posts: 117 ![]() | so my speedo started makign some noise and then the needle jumped all around and began erratically spinning around the face of the gauge. I was pretty mad since it worked beautifully before this with no problems... now it's not the cable, I unplugged it and it's as quiet as a mouse, is the speedo fixable? I also have another in the huge box of parts the previous owner left me. | ||

Veteran Posts: 117 ![]() | I'm thinking it broke the speedometer, since the needle was spinning allthe way past 120 and back around again | ||
