<DIV dir=ltr> You may have bounced the needle to the other
side of what looks like a pin at 3-4 mph. It is flexible (might even be a
tiny spring). If that happened, needle will not be able to get past the
pin and will max at 3-4 mph, steadily. <BR clear=none> That
the works were eviscerated by your pulling out the cable seems unlikely. <BR
clear=none> When the bezel and glass are off, try pushing the pin over and
setting the needle to zero. Pull it straight off the shaft; push it
straight on. Once set at zero, push the pin over, then rest the parked
needle on the pin.<BR clear=none> Are you taking this opportunity to fit
LEDs into the instruments?<BR clear=none>Bob<BR clear=none><BR clear=none><BR

Unfortunately, although the odometer and trip meter work fine now, the speed<BR
