Posted September 13, 200618 yr comment_182301 Hey guys! Need a little help here. I just found out that all but my speedo aren't working but I may be able to have them fixed by some guy here if I'm lucky. If it can't be done, would anyone know a good place to order them? I'm still looking around but no luck! HEEEEEEEELP!!!! Thanks guys! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21556-dash-instrumentation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 13, 200618 yr comment_182320 Contort yourself in the footwell and reach up behind the dash to unscrew the speedo cable from the back of the speedo itself. Hope you have small hands!!!!!Then disconnect it at the gear box and see if the cable is severed.Good luck.

September 13, 200618 yr comment_182321 Didn't he say all but the speedometer are not working? The speedometer is the only mechanical gauge. If all of the others don't work it's obviously an electrical problem and could be easy to fix.

September 14, 200618 yr comment_182333 do the needles on the center gauges wiggle when you turn the power on? Check your fuses. What does work Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21556-dash-instrumentation/#findComment-182333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 14, 200618 yr comment_182340 In houseld electronics: 1. Is it connected? 2. insert new batteries. 3. Read the owner's manual! For Zs: 1: is it connected? 2: check the fuses! 3. Look in the FSM or microfiche. 4. Ask on CZCC. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21556-dash-instrumentation/#findComment-182340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 14, 200618 yr comment_182368 The ammeter works via the current flowing through it. The other instruments receive power through a Yellow/Red wire coming off the Flasher fuse. They ground through a common Black wire to ALL /MOST of the car's electrical components.Check those connections first.E Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21556-dash-instrumentation/#findComment-182368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
