Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable P/N:CA-3019
Carry road speed from the speedometer drive to the dash gauge with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable, part number CA-3002, a replacement built to OE specs for the listed applications. It is listed for many models, among them the 1979-1982 Ford Mustang, 1980-1986 Ford F-150 and 1969-1979 Chevrolet Impala.
A speedometer cable is the rotating link between the speedometer drive and the gauge in the instrument cluster. A worn, kinked or broken cable may be the cause of a needle that bounces, lags or sits at zero, an odometer that stops advancing, or a ticking or whirring noise from behind the dash. If it is, this cable replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, because the gauge or the drive gear can produce the same signs.

Is the CA-3002 the right 1965 Mustang speedometer cable?
The 1965 Ford Mustang is among its listed applications, along with the 1979-1982 Ford Mustang. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list.
What does a speedometer cable do?
Its steel inner cable spins inside the polymer outer housing. It carries rotation from the speedometer drive to the gauge so the speedometer and odometer can register the vehicle's movement.
What signs mean the speedometer cable may need replacing?
A bouncing or dead needle, an odometer that stops counting, or a ticking noise behind the dash can come from a worn cable. The gauge or drive gear can cause them too, so diagnose first.
What comes with the Pioneer CA-3002?
You get the speedometer cable. Pioneer notes its cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where applicable, so any extra pieces depend on the application.
How should the new cable be installed?
Follow the vehicle's service information and route the cable along the original path. Avoid tight bends and heat sources, because kinks can make the needle bounce.
