<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">I wanted to clean my speedometer before installing it in the dash. Removing the bezel and glass, I carefully wiped the face of the gauge and noticed the needle was stuck.
Thinking I’ll have to send it somewhere and get it fixed anyway, I decided to disassemble it the rest of the way to look inside. I wasn’t expecting to find what I saw!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">Mud daubers had found a cozy home inside the housing while in storage on my garage shelf. I carefully removed the all the hardened mud bit by bit, freed the needle and
amazingly, it works (using a drill on the speedo cable). I took the photo after cleaning the speedo but before working on the tachometer. If they both work properly in the car I’ll be Smiths biggest fan!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
