Hi,
1st time poster here.
The speedometer on my wifes 92 Legacy 2WD wagon died yesterday (no warning, just died).
I disconnected the cable at the transmission (by removing the little wire clip, pulling out the inner cable - I didn't actually remove the whole end piece) and hooked it up to a cordless drill. The speedometer responded. What if anything does this tell me? Is the likely problem something in the end piece of the cable where it goes into the transmission?
BTW, I was able to slid this inner cable entirely out of its sheath, is this normal?
Does this mean that the actual speedomenter gauge / speed sensor is ok?
What should I look at replacing?
Also, if it means anything the cruise control is not working now either.
Thanks for any assisstance anyone can give me!
Dan
