John S's Journal

Took advantage of the recent sale and ordered one after dealing with a non-functioning speedometer. The phone app has worked in a pinch but having to look down to the console isn’t ideal.

Took the heater control switch out to make it a bit easier to reach up behind the gauge cluster and managed to disconnect the speedometer cable and remove the knurled nuts on the back of the gauge. Retained all of the skin on my hand in the process. That’s a win in my book. The original gauge light wire is accessible as are the black ground wires. Just need to source a power wire and locate the antenna. My thought is to mount the antenna on top of the steering cowl. Not sure if the old gauge light wire will do the trick since it needed a case ground. Don’t know if the new gauge ground will complete the circuit. Will find out when I can get back to it.
