Speedometer not working
I have a 1987 Bronco. The speedometer is not working. I pulled the cable off of trans and when I turn it the speedometer moves. I am just starting to work on it my self and dont know what else it could be. Thanks

Maybe you need to completely change the wiring?

There is no wiring to redo, it's a gear driven speedometer.

Inspect the gear on the end of the speedometer cable for signs of wear. If it looks good do the same for the drive gear on the output shaft.
