Zebvance Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My mj has been down for a while while I was doing a 8.8 swap. I also wired up my light bars, trans temp gauge, and a few other things. It's all up and running now but the speedo doesn't work now. The cable going into the transfer case looks fine. Is there anything under the dash that I could have unhooked not knowingly to make the speedo not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes, you could have potentially pulled the cable out from the back of the speedometer gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebvance Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Do you have a picture of what the connection looks like so I know what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It's the metal can looking thing in the middle of the square on the left side show here. And here's how it should look when it's connected right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If you have cruise control there are two cables, one from tcase to cruise sensor, and one from sensor to speedo. Also some cables have a steel housing, not plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebvance Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ok we'll I think I found the problem guys. Pulled out my cluster and started tugging on the Speedo cable and I was just able to pull it completely out. It looks like it might have got caught in the 4wd linkage last time I put it in 4wd and snapped. Ugh!!! So has this ever happened to anybody and how hard of a fix is it?

mpace6a Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Buy a new cable, and the rubber seal where it enters the firewall. Figure out how long its supposed to be and head down to your favorite local autoparts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
