A speedometer cable spins inside its housing to turn the speedometer gauge. When the cable is worn, kinked or broken, the needle may bounce, read erratically or stop moving, and you may hear a ticking noise from behind the dash. If a failed cable is the cause, this part replaces it.

What does a speedometer cable do?
It is a flexible cable that rotates inside its housing and carries motion to the speedometer. That rotation turns the gauge so it can display vehicle speed.
What is this speedometer cable made of?
Pioneer builds it with a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing. The housing protects the cable from corrosion and abrasion.
What are signs a speedometer cable may need replacing?
Warning signs include a bouncing or erratic needle, a gauge stuck at zero, or ticking from behind the dash. Diagnose the cause first, because the gauge or drive gear can also fail.
