Kind of along the same lines, my car seems to be eating speedometer
cables. About 12,000 miles ago, I replaced it when the speedometer
and odometer both quit working (broken cable). Now, the speedometer
still works, but it bounces a little. The odometer has completely
quit. I've had the odometer temporarily quit when it had to turn too
many digits at the same time, but this time it quit at 93,439 miles,
which doesn't seem like a magical number or anything. What does it
mean when the odometer quits before the speedometer?
