Speedo not working? Huh?
My friend just purchased a car and the seller emailed this to him:
Just so yo know, i took the car out for a spin today to make sure all was well, and it looks like the accident may have loosened the wire that connects the speedo to the transmission, so when you hit bumps and stuff, sometimes the speedo will work and sometimes it wont. Im pretty sure its just the wire and it just needs to be tightened. Right before he purchased the car someone rear ended the car and that is what he is talking about in regard to the accident. My question is: Would something like that cause the speedo to malfunction? My friend wants to know how much you guys think it will cost to fix. Hell if I know how much. Thanks for any help. |

hmmm i dont think so....speedo cable doesn't run to the rear end....so i think it's a wear and tear issue...might have just gone bad...can get them at any hardware store...if its the cable...if needs a new guage. personally i dont think it was the accident that caused this

No electric speedo. Will he have to get a new gauge cluster? That is what he is afraid of, or could it be more than that?
