If you want to detach it from the gauge in the cluster, then press down on the plastic part where it connects to the ODO. If you're talking the transmission, then there's a cotter pin type thing that holds it into the tranny. I have found if I wiggle the wire enough while pulling on it, it will come loose from the tranny without removing the pin.
If you're talking about just replacing the inner cable, then you can go the transmission route. A pair of needle nose pliers will pull the inner cable out from the tranny side.
Good luck, I've got the same issue
not sure,,,,,,same problem here not sure if it ia a cable or eletronic. May be a relay or something. If I find out I will post
I ended up having to have a shop drill into it to get it out. Everything you read says they come right out, but mine didn't.
its a non medical tracer.
You can do it the hard way by removing the gauge cluster in the car, or you can pull the cable out of the speedometer gear in the transaxle. This should give you enough room to pull it out and oil it. I recommend graphite lubricant. Also, make sure you push the cable back into the tube ALL the way, or obviously it won't work at all.
Blue Tracer was created in 1941.
Tracer AMC was created in 1999.
Mercury Tracer was created in 1987.
Mike Tracer is 5' 10".
The skip tracer makes on average about $100 a day. This depends on the accounts that hire the skip tracer and how many they have.
On a 1997 Mercury Tracer : It could have the Anti-lock Brake System ( assuming the warning light bulb works , there will be an " ABS " light in the lower part of the dash , between the " BRAKE " warning light and the speedometer , that you should see when you first turn the ignition key to the RUN position , just before starting the vehicle , to prove that the bulb works )
I have a 89 tracer with a 5 speed manual transmission. When I had the transmission oil changed they removed the speedometer cable from the transmission and filled it through the odometer drive mounting hole. I laughed at the mechanic but he said that was the only way to do it. If there is no other hole to check the oil I guess you may have to pull the odometer cable to check it!!! Hope this helps you out. RG
