At Conclave my speedo stops working. There was a mechanic there that
told me the speedo was frozen, causing the system to fail. I pulled
the speedo and had it repaired/rebuilt. I also removed the angle drive
and the male part into the od was broken.
Ordered a new angle drive and cable. When the repaired speedo was
returned I installed it along with a new angle drive. The cable was
not damaged so I did not install the new one. Put the car back
together and 32 miles later the speedo goes flat.
I disconnected the cable and it did not turn when I drove. I pulled
the cable from it's case and the od end was fine. I put a drill on the
cable while connected to the speedo and ran it up to 50 mph. When I
tried to turn the cable by hand it was difficult but it did turn. I
suspect the angle drive is again broken.
OK, what's the cause? Should the cable in the speedo turn easily?
Could the speedo have failed? Could the angle drive have failed/been
faulty?
