Speed-Meter Cable

[szocspeti]

hi, can someone tell me, how to exchange a broken kmh-cable (my speed-tracker does not work, the turation-meter & everything other works fine)
i tried to look where it's hooked up, but i couldn't find nothing!! where is the connector on the motor, and how do i connect the other end in the dashboard (do i have to take it apart ? ) ..

thanks in advance, peter

Peter,

wich kind of r25 do you have?
type, engine, etc.
(I have the same problem, But I've got an elektronic speed-tracker. I've replaced the sensor with no result, so it seems that the dashboard unit is broken)

hi,

i have a R25TX, 1989, Automatic, gearbox AR45, engine J7T 732/3, 2150ccm, 79kw ..
i clearly have a cable, because, i found it under the hood, and i can see where it is broken, but i could not get to the dashboard, to see where to unplug the part from there .. and i'm not willing to take the dashboard appart all by my self, because then it will never fit again in its place

here a photo of the car..

bye, peter

Ah, that problem

I will disasemble my dashboard at the end of august, if i remember I will make some pictures. I don't know where your cable is connected to the gearbox...

You don't have to remove the whole dashboard for it.
Just take out the instrument part.
Remember, there is very little room for your hand to get behind the speedometer and push the side of the connector to make it unplugged.
Don't use force (like i did) to take the instrument part out, than it will brake off, and can't be reassembled.
