To jumpstart a 1975 Mercedes 450SL, connect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the working battery. Then, connect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal of the working battery and attach the other end to a grounded metal surface on the engine block or chassis of the 450SL, away from the battery. This setup helps prevent sparks near the dead battery. Finally, start the working vehicle, then the Mercedes.
To replace the speedometer cable on a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E, start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the speedometer cable at the back of the speedometer cluster and at the transmission; carefully unscrew and pull it out from both ends. Install the new cable by inserting it into the transmission and securing it, then connect it to the speedometer, making sure it’s properly seated. Finally, reattach the battery terminal and test the speedometer for proper function.
The speedometer cable connects to the transmission speed sensor with a swivel nut. Simply turn the swivel nut to the right to connect the speedometer cable.

Finally, reattach the speedometer to the dashboard and ensure the cable is properly secured and free of any obstructions.
To install a speedometer cable on a 1995 Kawasaki Concours, first, ensure the motorcycle is on a stable surface and the ignition is off. Remove the old cable by disconnecting it from the speedometer and the transmission. Then, route the new cable through the same path, securing it in place, and connect one end to the speedometer and the other to the transmission. Finally, check for proper operation by spinning the front wheel and observing the speedometer response.
The speedometer is electronic...there is no speedometer cable.
It depends on the manufacturer. Most rear wheel drive vehicle speedometer cables connect to a gear in the transmission "tailshaft". Front wheel drive vehicles may connect at another location on the transaxle or they may use an electronic Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) that sends a digital signal to the speedometer, in which case there is no speedometer cable. Other vehicles, such as the old VW Beetle, used a speedometer cable that connected directly to the front wheel. Unfortunately, there is no way to list what method was used by all vehicles.
The battery post positive terminal is where you connect the positive cable. Connect the negative cable to anyplace on the engine or chassis. Connect positive first and remove it last.
The most common reason for a speedometer to fail is a broken speedometer cable. Loosen the nuts on each end of the speedometer cable. Remove the speedometer cable retaining clips. Reverse the process to install the new speedometer cable.
