No, it does not. It's all electronic.
Either that, or the speedometer cable went bad.
There is no Cable it is a speed sensor on the transmission
Have the speed sensor replaced.
I believe starting on the 1996 Explorer , it went to an electronic speedometer with a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) so it doesn't have a conventional speedometer cable
You just have to sqeeze the junction of the cable ( white connetion) and it will release
no cable electronic speed sensor (wire driven)
Easy. Car does not have one. It is an electronic speedometer. It uses a Vehicle Speed Sensor. Better look again partner, it has a cable, unless its a sho or lx with a digital dash !!
Actually , it doesn't have a conventional speedometer cable , it has an electronic speedometer and a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) according to my Haynes repair manual
Try disconecting the speedometer cable and squirt some lube in it. It might have dried out.
remove cluster and replace cable. Reverse removal procedure for installation.
The 1997 Ford Taurus shifting cable has adjustment swivel nuts on each end of the cable. You can turn the swivel nuts to lengthen or shorten the shifting cable.
The speedometer is electronic...there is no speedometer cable.
