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.

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.

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.
