Likely speedometer cable bad/dead

[Piff]

Tonight I noticed my speedo jumping just a little while running to the library. This is the first time I've seen it do it. There has been no noise (clicking) at all to indicate any issue. Anyway, I come back out to a dead speedo, dead odometer and a check engine light. Geez, that was a fast failure! After checking the fluids to make sure I haven't lost all my oil, rad fluid or something I head home.

These three symptoms are all related to a dead speedo cable, yes? I've read a lot of speedo cable threads tonight, but strangely, no one has mentioned a dead odometer or check engine light associated with a bad cable.

I'm going to borrow my old man's ODBII scanner and pull the code this weekend to verify that the code has something to do with the speedo/odometer, but just thought I'd post because of these two issues that no one else mentions when they post about their cable issues.

Regards.

Dead odometer, Yes. check engine light, not so sure. I'm not OBDII
