    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    Ok, this sounds like I need some help to do. I’ll have to see what I can do about that. Thanks for the input guys! I know what to do, I just need to figure out how to do it. I’ll update later! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    Thank you again for your help! I’ll think about ordering one ahead of time. I’m a bit under the gun with time because I’ll be losing my big work space at the end of the month (we sold our family house). I struggle a lot with working on cars, I get frustrated. My Dad didn’t teach me a thing, he...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    Ahhhh ok! I’m not very mechanically inclined and I have no help. This is why I’m so hesitant! I have seen a handful of videos, it doesn’t seem too complicated. I would love to clean everything while I’m at it, and maybe consider changing to LEDs. Worse case scenario, if the circuit board is...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    For the Oil light I can feel part of the circuit board flaring out in two spots around/near the round part by where the socket goes. Maybe something got bent or peeled off. I can’t tell for sure what’s going on. I’ve tried looking with my cell phone but it’s not cutting it. I actually ordered a...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I’m fairly confident I may no what is wrong. The printed circuit is very loose and unattached around the two bulbs that aren’t working. When I put my fingers up there to unscrew the bulb sockets I can feel the circuit board not attached. If this is the case can/how do I fix this? I really hope...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    p.s. if I need a new socket any idea what the part number is/where to get one? That gets me to thinking about LED bulbs and sockets. Hmmm, imagine green ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    Ahhh! Ok! I’ll look, I may even post a pic for you to look at. The 4 Wheel Drive light I’ll look at as well while I’m at it. Thanks again!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I have noticed it’s hard to twist the Oil bulb back in. I have a suspicion the circuit board might be riding a tad high, blocking/obstructing the bulb. I’m wondering if there’s a way to just pull it down somehow. Maybe that will help with the connection as well. It was awfully dirty in that area...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    ezgn that’s what I’m thinking as well. I watched a video and noticed my doesn’t look right. I’m going to go back under and really look around! Thanks for the help, I’ll report back! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I’m beginning to think I should try cleaning the contact points for the bulbs. Where the bulbs contact the back of the dashboard. I just just don’t know if there’s enough room to do that without taking the dash apart. I’ll take a look! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    The fuse is fine. One thing I noticed is, it’s not easy to twist that oil bulb back in. Not sure if that matters. I’m sure hoping I don’t have to start taking the dash apart! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I swapped out a new bulb for the oil light. It still doesn’t work. Another thing I noticed is the light next to it (4wheel drive) doesn’t work either. I switched bulbs and it doesn’t work. It seems like there’s a sheet of something moving around as well. It covers the hole a bit and I have to...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    The socket looked good, it was awfully dirty. So I wiped it off and blew air into it. When you say ground wire, I’m assuming that would be one of the wires going into the socket? I do have a test light, do I just ground one end then place the other end into the socket when turning it on...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I figured it out, the Oil Light above the Gen 2 light won’t turn on. I tried changing the bulb, but that didn’t work. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    That’s a great idea! When the last guy put the cable in he must have widened or removed the grommet. There’s gray stuff plugging the whole. It maybe be something from a tube. I’ll see how easy or difficult the cable and gray stuff come out. I’ll report back. Thank you for the sharpie tip! Sent...

    What the Heck is Going On with this Speedometer???

    I finally had some free time. I was able to get to the Gen 2 bulb, sure enough it was bad. I replaced it and it’s now working! Is the light above the Gen 2 bulb (not sure what it is) supposed to come on when starting the engine? I replaced that one as well, it doesn’t light up. It did seem...
