speedometer, and oil pressure guage

[irjoshy]

well ijust got this 96 talon tsi awd. and drove it all the way home from canton ohio to elyria oh, which is about 1 hr and 30 minutes away.
well as i was going down the off ramp the speedometer just quit. i dont know why, and i cant seem to find where the wires for the speedometer connect, and i couldnt see any loose wires. also, at an idle, the oil pressure light comes on, but the oil pressure guage doesnt lose pressure or anything.

I apolagize for any vagueness, however i would really appreciate any advice you tuners have.

thanks guys

You have to give us time to answer.

The connector has come off the speed sensor on the transmission. Press it back on. It's down kind of behind the engine, on top of the transmission, a bit to the left of where the shifter cables come through.

for the oil light... it's just the oil pressure sending switch probably. I just replaced mine... the part number from mitubishi is MD138993

No cable on the modern [2G] cars, Lord. All 'lectical. They stopped using plywood in the block, too.
