My speedo needle on my 94 is very erratic. It jumps all over the place above 55mph. I also hear a high piched wine when it is doing this. I had a shop replace the speedo head at the gauge. This seemed to work, & my speedo was fine. The last week it started happing again. Seemed to start after I maxed out the speedo gauge. Would maxing out the gauge break the speedo head? If that is the probelm, can I get a diiferent one, so when I do max out, it won't break? Traffic in my area really moves past 85 alot of the time. Or maybe that's not the problem at all. Any ideas would help.

Thanks
 






I would try lubing the speedo cable. Good luck!
 






Bump
Any feedback on this?
 






mine did that after 45. i just replaced it with another one from a 91. so far so good. so i don't know what to tell ya. maxing it out should be a problem.
