odometer has stopped or works on and off...trying to identify speedo model...troubleshooting info from search results don't seem to describe my unit which has non-digital readings and no electrical plug connection. I have a black and white wire pair and a gray sheathed set of 3 wires (white/black and red) );of these 3 only the red and white wires are connected through to panel wiring. once I know model I will try to order on line.

Before messing with the speedo itself, I'd check and clean the connection at the transmission.

I inserted the photo, BTW.

I have checked wiring at tranny and dash. Speed reading works as it should...odometer is hit and miss. Navigator wants me to find a replacement. Can anyone identify this unit and tell me where to buy a new one? thanks

If you want to upgrade instead of just replacing with a stock gauge, check out Speedhut.com they have some nice looking stuff. Smiler
