Check Speedo!

[RED CAT]

Was going over my new S10 today and found the speedo/tach unit loose. 3 screws holding it on. Just hold it and see if you can shake it foreward and back. Mine was very loose. Cured it by installing 3 plumbing rubber washers onto the 3 screws holding the unit on. Easy to remove headlite housing from the front(4 bolts). Makes it easier to get at the 3 philips screws holding the speedo on. Nice and snug now. Just a heads up! ::001::

It's meant to be that way so it doesn't shake it guts out.

The license plate light housing is the same way.

+1!

Plus you don't even want to think about the $$$$'s to replace the instrument cluster if it fails! Switch it back.

I can understand a little jiggle room but too loose is too loose. Its not tight just slightly snug now. Think I'll leave it that way. Tks.
