Speedometer...
Any of you guys, especially w/ the early 90's models ever have a problem with the speedometer in cold weather not working? Mine never does, it just dances around til it gets stuck in about the 5 oclock position on the dash, then I gotta either bang on the dash, or stick some wire in there (through the tripometer reset shaft hole) and grab it loose. Seems to work most of the time during the summer, all of the time even, I think atleast. It also makes a noise, just kinda a rattling noise. Anyone know how to fix it? Any suggestions???? Thanks guys...

Thanks hreed for your help. And anyone else that helped me. The other code that came up at the emission station was 0420. Would you know what that means, and the check engine light went out atlast. but that made me fail also. It used to stay on, and go off every now and then. But it's not coming on when I start the truck. Appreciate any help you can give.

I think the upshot of the TSB involves installing a new, revised speedo head. I can only wonder how much Ford charges for the part.

Had the whirring & jumping needle on my 95 Taurus. Took it to a speedometer shop & the guy pressed in a new "jewel" for 120 bucks. He told me he had done quite a few of these for the local Ford dealer. Warranty work.
