Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable P/N:CA-3013
Help keep your speedometer and odometer driven by a steady mechanical link with the Pioneer Speedometer Cable CA-3017. It is a quality replacement that carries rotation from the speedometer drive up to the instrument cluster. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1981-1990 Ford Escort and 1982-1988 Ford EXP, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Depending on the application, Pioneer cables may come with common brackets, grommets and ends. Compare the new cable with the original before installing.
Signs a speedometer cable may need replacing include a needle that bounces or flutters, a speedometer and odometer that stop registering, or a whine or ticking from behind the dash. If a worn or broken cable is the cause, this cable replaces it. Diagnose the problem first, because a faulty drive gear or gauge can produce similar symptoms.
