I just had a new motor installed into my NA Fairlane and now the speedo has stopped working. It worked fine before the other motor was removed, but now it has stopped. Does any one have any ideas what would be the cause other then the sensor in the box? Can the cruise control have any thing to do with it? Any wires or fuses etc that could of been knocked? Thanks

It is such a shame, just had this motor done right up with extractors etc then the speedoo dies . Still there is nothing like a new motor .

behind the intake manifold, where all the wiring looms plug into the main loom, there will be a flat plug near the round plug (the injector wiring loom), make sure that it hasnt come loose ive seen speedo's not work because ofthis
