[urq] speedo not working

[urq]

... obviously the operating odo proves that the rotation is making it up to 
the speedo unit OK ... the coupler which turns the rotating of the back 
piece of the speedo unit is probably spinning ... my guess is that the 
speedo's been sitting on the peg so long that it is stuck ... take the car 
out for a drive and go faster ... perhaps that will break it loose ... ;-)

You might want to pop the inst cluster off and pull out the speedo unit.  If 
the needle appears to move freely, spin the input with a drill and see if 
you can figure out why it isn't coupling ... speedos aren't really that 
complicated ...

Good luck!
