Annoying ticking from speedo

[Connor]

Right...
I have a recently changed the speedo cable due to it snapping
i used a non gm speedo cable

now when driving along it makes a ticking noise which gets quicker the quicker i am going

the speedo works fine, but some of my passenger get very pissed off with the noise

i was just wondering is it because i used a non gm cable, or is it because it is not fitted correctly

cheers

i had this with mine. (new speedo cable) just tipped a little bit of oil down it, take the clocks out and the connector out the back tip some oil in let it drain down and should be fine after 1/4mile or so :)

try pushing the trip counter button in a coupla times, and wait for a few seconds to see if its shut it up, i had this prob and did this to silence mine.

every now and then id catch my hand on the button tho, and it would start back up again, but i just had to be patient and wait till i got lucky with a decent click of that button.

hope that works for ya.

if all fails, fit a gm jobby or smash the clocks up in anger lol

I acualy found my GM cable was worse than the aftermarket jobbie.

And i changed my speedo head and it went away, i couldnt be arsed messing around with it all.

find an old song that contains tick tick boom.

it's probably the trip counter, they tend to get stuck in my experience, and click as it tries to go round
