Mach'd Out....worked all day on the car

[kindersmach]

I spent the day working on the Mach. While installing my newly painted interior, my mechanic and I put in a new radiator fan shroud, an awesome Derale fan, a new speedometer cable, and a second ignition switch because the first one I bought was crap. ...well, the day ended with half My interior back in place, a speedometer gauge that now isn't moving when I drive, and I can pull the ignition key out without the car turning off. I am prettty frustrated to say the least. The ignition situation I believe can be resolved by replacing the ignition cylinder and key. As far as the speedometer cable, Idk...we replaced the old one only because it was old and worn but still worked. I also replaced the gauge printed circuit piece today as well, so who knows what's going on. At least tomorrows a new day.

probably that balky connector is hung up and not fully engaged. Reach back and compress the clip and see if you can engage the cable end.

Sounds like about every 3rd time I work on the car:dodgy: Hang in there you'll figure it out.

+1 it's a little fiddly. You think it's on but it ain't!

Keep the faith. Somedays are like that. Other days you find out it's something simple.

That is the CJPony parts catalog. I got my copy in the mail yesterday. I believe both our cars are on a few different pages. That is so cool...

You're a lucky son of a gun. You should make them give you some Mula for using your pics in their catalogs. Or discounts
