Taz_Rx Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 stick your hand in behind the dash cluster, and unplug 2x rounds plugs and unclick the speedo drive. You can get the cluster out a bit further to do this by unclipping the speedo cable in the engine bay and pushing it in towards the dash through the fire wall. The plugs should have enough slack on them. :dance: Quote

Taz_Rx Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 If you can get it out far enough that you can see that back of it you'll be able to see how the speedo cable 'clips' in. :dance: Quote

Don't think it's really possible with the KE55 dash, as the clock is integral to the cluster. KE30 clusters had the clock seperate Quote

Palmy Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 i noticed that when i took my cluster out, the speedo cable clipped in but the cable did not go into hole because it bent itself. jus check that. or somehow u could have bumped something in the speedo.... Quote

Taz_Rx Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Its got a little keyway on it. Make sure its actually going into the keyway reciever in the cluster. Quote

Ill check that later tried to have a look before the pin was square but couldnt see it in the cluster to see if it line up propaly. ohwell just have to guess my speed for now will have a look at fixing it tommorow thanks for the help Quote
JiP Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Just fiddle with it. Sometimes you might not put in on correctly. Assuming you don't have A/C, you should be able to slide your arm in from underneath and play with it while its in place. I know that when I first pulled my speedo out of my KE30 it didn't work correctly when back in, it took a few goes. Tho how did you take it off?? I just pulled on off a car I'm wrecking and as I pulled the speedo forward so I can fit my hand in to disconnect it, the plastic tip from the cable popped off. Maybe just check that the end of the cable looks right. Quote

Taz_Rx Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 The needles can actually slip on the shaft, remove the platics dome cover and see if you can't push it back up to 0. I've had to do this befor too. :dance: Quote
