Hello group,
I am a new member and owner of a 92 tracker, 8v, 5 speed manual, 4x4. It has had a rough life before I bought it and I have made several repairs and improvements.
I currently have a code 24 and have hit a snag on repairing it. I must say I am very impressed with the fixkick website and have learned more from it than any other source so far, including the factory service manual I purchased off e-bay. I have used the website as a guide to pull the speedometer and troubleshoot. Here's the kicker, it don't have a reed switch that I can find. I suspected trouble when I noticed there were no v1 and v2 terminal screws on the back. I shined a light in the holes and there was nothing for screws to thread into. After taking the face out and exposing the guts, I can't find the switch or any signs of solder. The magnetic cup is there on the needle and intact. As a matter of fact, everything else looks relatively clean and in good shape. The speedometer does make noise and the needle bounces at certain speeds, though. Any ideas? The website has a picture of a speedometer that appears to be identical to mine except it has the the two terminal screws. I would certainly appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks, Greg
