1991 Ranger speedometer needle "floating" "bouncing" "erratic"?
My 1991 Ranger’s speedometer needle is bouncing all around. It started the other week and I can’t figure out the issue? The odometer is keeping proper mileage but the needle seems to float. I’ll be going at a calculated speed of 60 mph and the needle will be bouncing between 85 mph and the 6 o’clock position on the speedo gauge. It never floats below the speed I’m travelling. Is the needle controlled by the cable on these models? I’m not sure when the electronic speedos came onboard.
BTW - it did this last year for a day or two and resumed working well until now, again.
Thanks,
