so im changing my speedo and disconnected all the electronic stuff and got down to the cable. it came out hard but eventually got it ..now on the re-assembly i can barely fit my hand to reconnect the speedo cable. is it supposed to be this short?? anybody else have problems with this too?? thanks all help is welcome

 

Yeah they are a bitch sometimes. What I do is I leave it disconnected from the trans so you can pull it farther into the interior to do the cluster then I pull it back through to hook it to the trans.

 

haha yep i hate dealing with that damn cable

 

yeah its a real pain.. my cel came on..anybody have any idea if its bcuz of this cable not being properly connected?

 

check your code. if your speedo is working, its something else.

 

the speedo cable is not plugged in...im guessing it should go away wen i plug it in correct?

 

yeah when the speedo isn't working you throw a code 17 or something for the VSS.

 

also when you do plug it in, make sure it's seated all the way both on the cluster and the tranny. sometimes it will feel like it's in but it won't be fully seated and will throw your speedo out of whack.

and like hybrid1990crx said, i just disconnect it from the tranny first so i have a little more to work with behind the cluster.
