Dear All,

I'm trying to remove my speedo to get the odometer fixed. There's three round red plugs that go into the rear that feel like they are attached to springs when I tug them.

Is there a specific way to remove these red plugs, or can I just yank them out??

There don't seem to be any removable clips holding them in, so I figured I'd better seek your collective expertise first. Please help.

Thanks in advance

I own a 81SC and will guess that the red plugs you refer to are in fact the speedo lights. When I removed mine I gently pried out the unit with a small screwdriver.

Ernie,
I'll have another look at it tonight but from what I saw, I don't think it looks like bulbs.

Thanks much anyways.

SPIKES

it is the bulbs. you need a special tool to take the outer ring of with the glass in order to get into the speedo. you then have some screws at the back that will seperate the speedo from the housing..

I'll give it a go later. Thanks!!

how do you change the bulbs inside the speedo? at night i can only see how fast i'm going if its 80mph+

Hi guys, Pull the speedo out of the dash , point the guage face down. This gives a good visual to see the wires for the bulbs. There's a lip around the wire holder you pry up on to get the bulb out . Small flat screw driver works best. Don't pull on the wires. Easy fix you'll see, good luck.
