How do you wire a new speedometer gauge?
First off your new gauge will have a wire going from A on the gas gauge to A on the temperature gauge. Remove that. We will wire these gauges separately now. Second, go to Radio Shack or order resistors online.
When did they start putting speedometers on cars?
A speedometer or a speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles, they started to be available as options in the 1900s, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards.
How does the gears on an odometer work?
This odometer uses a series of three worm gears to achieve its 1690:1 gear reduction. The input shaft drives the first worm, which drives a gear. Each full revolution of the worm only turns the gear one tooth.
Do you need an odometer to use a speedometer?
While that does work on older mechanical odometers, it does not work on the new electronic ones, as we will see in the next section… If you make a trip to the bike shop, you most likely won’t find any cable-driven odometers or speedometers.
First off your new gauge will have a wire going from A on the gas gauge to A on the temperature gauge. Remove that. We will wire these gauges separately now. Second, go to Radio Shack or order resistors online.
Where to get resistors for CJ7 speedometer gauges?
We will wire these gauges separately now. Second, go to Radio Shack or order resistors online. At Radio Shack I was able to pick up packs of 100 ohm 1 watt resistors (the small ones in the photo below) and 50 Ohm 10 watt resistors (big white one)

What does no resistance mean on a speedometer?
No resistance means a short. 12 volts straight to the body of the Jeep… not good. This short that not only blew the gauge fuse, but also fried our new fuel sending unit I had just installed. I opened the case of the new speedo, removed the fuel gauge, wrapped it in electrical tape, reinstalled it and now the short was gone.
