Recently while on the interstate, I noticed the speedometer in my 77 Tradesman had quit working (needle sits at bottom and doesn't move at all). When I got home, I disconnected the cable (which is only 2 years old) and checked it but it looked fine as did the end that attaches to the trans.
Today, I went to the local Pull-A-Part and picked-up a used cable and a speedo pinion gear (which more closely matches my tire size) and swapped them in, but the speedo still didn't work.
Then I swapped in another speedo from my spare-parts collection, but it didn't work either! I am making sure the cable is fully seated at both ends. My van has had many electrical problems in the past so I have had plenty of practice pulling/replacing gauge cluster.
What am I missing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
