A little more speedo lovin'
You might remember from a few days ago that I was trying to work out what was going on with my speedo, which has a mind of its own from about 100km/h onwards. In the intervening days, my tame auto sparky made up a cable for me to use with Karamba (I do some of that stuff myself, but I'm too much of an amateur to trust myself with such things on the K) and today I had a chance to hook it all up and do some testing.
First a tip from experience: read the damn instructions. Kept wondering why the needle would plummet back to the stop when I hit the higher speed buttons, then I turned up the volume on the Karamba connection to max (as instructed) and it worked like it should.
Once that problem was resolved, I found that the speedo reacts to Karamba just as expected, no problems at all. In fact I suspect someone's been at the adjustment pot at some time in the past as the thing is dead nuts accurate.
Which I think leaves me with the sender in the final drive. Unless anyone has a bright idea to the contrary, it looks like I'm buying a new one.
regards to all (and thanks for the suggestions)
