I have a first generation Pathfinder (1991) and the needle has contacted the face of the speedometer. I drilled a small hole in the plastic and used a small wire to bend the arm from touching. jimbolyard@Yahoo.com My mechanic said that my speedometer cable ('95 Pathfinder 4wd automatic) had stretched. Since this repair was over $200, I opted for the quasi-fix: I hit the trip reset. This gets the speedometer working again about 75% of the time. It's been this way for the pass 3 years and has not gotten any worse.

Do Samsung Galaxy s3 freeze a lot?

I guess it depends. There are a few apps that froze mine a few times when I had one. But other than that, no, it doesn't freeze that much at all. It may lag a bit at times, but other than that, no, the S3 doesn't freeze too much.

How do you change the speedometer cable on a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker?

There is no speedometer cable on a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker. The speedometer is electically driven by a speed sensor mounted on the transmission. often the contacts are just corroded and some electrical cleaner will fix it right up. Other times the sender will have to be replaced. They are available from major Auto Parts stores like NAPA, or from the dealer.

Need help with the speedometer on a 1991 Nissan Stanza xe sometimes it work and other times it bounces up down or doesn't even work at all?

If it's cable driven, you probably need to replace the cable. Otherwise, if it's digital impulse driven, it's probably the speedometer itself.


How do you get bubble gum from clothes that have already been laundered?

One method to remove bubble gum from clothes that have already been laundered is to place the garment in the freezer for about 1-2 hours. Once frozen, gently scrape off the hardened gum with a butter knife or spoon. You can also use a product like a citrus-based solvent or a stain remover specifically designed to break down sticky residues. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product label.

Air bag light on a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder is flashing constantly on dashboard how do you fix the problem?

I had this happen before and I fixed it myself. Get in your Pathfinder and CLOSE the door. Turn the key on one click to accessory mode so that all of the other lights on the dash are on but do not start the car. Now open your door and push the the button inside your door jamb that turns your interior light on 7 times. Close your door and then turn your key off. Now start the Pathfinder...it should be off. If not, repeat this series a couple of times and it will go off. I have had theis happen twice and this is the correct way to fix the problem.
