Speedo Cable

Wolverine_1999

Hi,

I've got a little problem after finally replacing the LED in the dash... I pulled the whole dash gently towards me, so I could reach behind. Now, the connection unclipped in the middle but I think the speedo cable has somehow become loose because my speedometer does not work anymore! I noticed that when I push the whole thing back into the connection in the middle, the right side kind of pushes itself a small bit forward again because of the speedo cable is longer than it should be (since I pulled it all forward). I also noticed that there is no long beep anymore when I turn on my lights when the ignition is off... I presume this has something to do with the speedo cable.

Any idea what I can do here? I've tried pushing it in properly from behind to no avail. Could it be on the other end of the speedo cable? Where would this be?

There must be something else left unplugged or not seated right. Most cars take have an electronic speedo nowadays, even when they have analogue clocks. I presume they take the feed from the ABS sensors.

If it is some form of block connector see if a pin is bent.

Its a 96 Car though, Tigra..

There is the slot in the middle for the electronic connector and then there is a cable coming out of the back of the speedometer as well.
