Short story: After work this morning (I work as a fireman so it is a 24 hour day) I let a coworker drive my 928. He is in search of a new toy so I was trying to influence him. So just as we get back to the station my speedometer quits working. I tell him this is the most common problem (electrical) with 928's.
So my whole drive home I am thinking "great I have to lay on my back all morning and track down the speedometer cable and pull the pod as well, boy is this going to be a project". So I get home, kiss the wife feed the kids breakfast and finally sit down with a cup of coffee and my morning rennlist. Search speedometer and also look up the Nickols site for information and a fix. Well what do my tired eyes read but a simple plug in the spare tire bay is a common problem. Ya right I think but off I go the the garage with the same first cup of coffee. I find the plug pop it open clean with sand paper and put it back together. Ya, right I'm thinking it can't be this easy. Lo and behold I take the porsche around th block and it works. Literally a 1 minute fix. God I love this car and all the information on the web (especially rennlist) thanks to all who post and help others.

 

Congrats on the speedy fix.. Wish they were all like that.
