I can’t get this speedometer working for the life of me!
I have a CUCV M1009. Late last year I had the speedometer cable (provided by the previous owner) and the nylon gear in the transfer case north replaced, because the speedometer wasn’t working when we purchased it.
A month or so ago it...
You may very well be correct sir. I’m not confident at doing any more. I think it’s best I get help. Thank you for your help though. I appreciate you!

Thank you for all of your help everyone. Now this KC switch won’t even turn On when I ground it. This is over my head. I’m taking it in. Thank You for you’re help! Now I know more of my limitations and that’s a Plus!

Since the end of the ground wire has a U shape, should I just loosen the bolt slide it under the ground mount and tighten the bolt? Cleaning things will be involved too if coarse!

Ok I touched that bolt and grounded it. One light works, I’m suspecting the other might have a bad bulb. Where exactly should I permanently ground it?

Haaaa!! Yes I’m crazy enough to ask for help! :)
The switch has 3 wires plugged into the back of it. The Green and White wires are plugged in/attached on both ends. I will double check that. The brown wire is plugged in on the end that goes into the switch. The other end is just hanging. I...
Yeah it’s quite a mess down there. I think the previous owner didn’t think or care about it. I’m guessing I should zip tie it all?
The Round object on the Left is a power supply, similar to a cigarette lighter. That’s where I plug my Dash Camera into. The object in the right is the KC Switch...
I found a diagram of the wiring, in particular for the switch. It looks like the brown wire does need to be grounded. Where could I ground it? I’m thinking of loosening one of the bolts I circled (pic below) and sliding the U shaped in and tightening it. Is that a crazy or good idea? Or is there...
I noticed the passengers side KC light was out last week. Today I decided to get the part information for the non-working light, assuming the bulb was just bad. In the process I discovered the KC switch inside wasn’t working nor lighting up green. Now neither of the KC lites are working at all...
That sounds like a plan, I’ll buy it from you. I’m debating buying the timing cover from you as well. I just hope shipping isn’t a small fortune, because of the weight. The cable was already left in the blazer by the previous owner. I think it was in an AC Delco package, but I can’t say for sure...
Hello! The cable was replaced late last year, ya never now though. I’m thinking it’s the adapter, I’ll start there. I should just buy a new adapter right? Thank you again, I really appreciate and enjoy your help sir.

Hello! I don’t have my tools, so I haven’t been able to take things apart again. I should be back at it this weekend or early next week. One thing I do know is that the cable doesn’t go into the adapter very easily. I’ve had to very slowly spin the cable in to make it fit.
