my speedo doesnt work, but everything else on my dash does work so im thinking the cable came undone on the back of my speedo? is this most likely the culprit? i dont want to rip my whole dash apart to find out that that isnt the problem and have to rip it apart again later to put in a new gauge cluster.

 

Unlikely, since the cable is held in place with a metal clip. Drop the lower kick panel, grab a flashlight, and take a look. Type and year of car, by the way, will determine whether you have a mechanical or electric driven speedo.

its an 87 firebird, v6 so im assuming its mechanical.

 

so i ripped my dash apart today and pulled out the speedo to find that its electrical and there is no speedo cable(wtf? its an 87, my 95 has a mechanical one...) so everything on my gauge cluster works except the speedo so is that gauge cluster toast or what? if i have to buy a new gauge cluster what do you expect it will cost? in canadian dollar if possible
