My ignition switch is stiff when cold and the speedometer sounds horrible at slow speeds.
Decided to try to remedy those today. Pulled the dash only to remember there is no easy access to the back of the instrument panel. Oh well, I’ll leave it off.
Pulled the speedo cable off from below, all right, perhaps I can shoot some lube up there later.
Pulled the sleeve on the column to get better access to the ignition switch. Shot some lube in there, hoping it helps. Putting the sleeve back on being careful with the shift indicator cable. Got everything together and started trying things for proper function. Annnnd the shift indicator cable snaps.
Had a NOS in my cabinet. (Thanks David). Pulled the instrument panel and really had access to lube the speedo at the panel which is where I suspected the noise was coming from.
Got everything back together and on the test drive it sounded like a new truck!
Next l need to quiet down the steering wheel. Sounds like the electrical ring.
And find another NOS shift indicator cable, that doesn’t break the bank.
