Hello, I just changed mine and it was so simple that it blew me away. All the time I was looking for the same answer as you and then I discovered the problem is that the blasted thing doesn't have a speedometer cable. It has what is called a speed sensor and it is a real easy fix. I got mine from AutoZone for the price of $47.99. It is located on the tailshaft of the transaxle on the drivers side of the vehicle. It is held into the transfer case with the traditional single bolt that holds the fork that is common to many speedometer cable installations. It has a plug with two wires that you will have to disconnect. With the fork off and the wire plug disconnected simply pull out the plug that holds the speedo-gear. Once off the vehicle you will see a large nut that you need to remove to separate the sensor from the housing. It will go very smoothly for you so don't be afraid to do it yourself. It took me less than 10 minutes total time spent once I knew what to look for. . Steve

I doubt if it has a cable. I have a 1990 350 and it's electronic.a pulse modulator on trans & nothing but wires on instrument cluster. .
The cable must be replaced if damaged.
It is probably a bad speed sensor. The speed sensor is located on the transmission and sends a signal to the speedometer. It acts like a speedometer cable only sending electronic pulses instead of turning like a cable does.

The battery is under the front passenger seat. You hook jumper cables to the jump start posts under the hood. You will find a red cable and a grounding stud near it to attach to.
When I replaced the battery on my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee it would not start up. I got it to work by locking all doors and then unlocking the doors. After doing this it would crank up. Hope this helps. Additional Info: Exactly. When you disconnect or change the battery the factory alarm engages and activates the engine kill switch. Just reconnect the battery and lock and unlock the doors with your key to reset it.
