Hello from France, i see several times your video, i try try and try but i can't ! i need do it because i gave a bulb connector who down behind ! Then need replace it and want clean all contacts because severals bulbs don't work and bulbs are ok... i have difficulties for see the speedometer connector...
If the dial revolves all the time then the spring is broken or not connected. ie speedometer cable revolving at 1,000 RPM is 60MPH on the speedometer dial. The speedometer has a revolving magnet inside an aluminum cup tied to the dial/pointer. A coil clock type spring forces the dial to 0 Mph at 0 RPM cable speed. The faster the cable revolves the more torque on the aluminum speed cup by the revolving magnet due to eddy currents. The torques balance at any speed. Thus road MPH is proportional to dial angular movement. If the dial revolves all the time then the spring is broken or not connected is my guess. At 30 mph the magnet revolves at 500 rpm, the spring force at the 30 MPH position balances the magnets.
What is behind the speedometer that would tap against the other components on my 2013 Camaro SS? I get this noise that no doubt is directly behind the speedometer. It sounds like two pieces of plastic tapping together. This only occurs when the car runs over rough spots in the road. For unknown reasons it will stop making the rattle for days at a time. Then, out of nowhere the rattle will begin again. Does anyone else have this problem? The Chevy dealership wants me to leave the car with them at too close to $100 per hour and no guarantee they will find the problem.
Hey what’s up bro how you doing the wires that connected to the speed of cable is that for the control the speedo Module
You may have to lower your steering column i had to to get the cluster out dont take the bolts off just loosen them till you can get it out

Sweet Christ, THANK YOU
How do I get to the bulbs behind the speedometer plate?
Do you know much about speedometer repair? In an '86, 140 mph version, the needle just spins super fast in complete revolutions.

Very good vedio thank you.
Where do you find 13/32 socket?
10mm
but what if your speedo is electric?

This is for 3rd Gen Camaros. We dont have intensive knowledge on a newer one here.
jesus change your intro dude
