My starter went out this morning and so I replaced it and all was good at first. Then after driving it for about 5 minutes my speedometer dropped to zero and hasn't worked since. I know I had to twist and turn the starter to get it out and past the throttle bracket near the throttle body, but I didn't think I hit any of the wires or cables enough to mess them up.

Do you guys think this was just a coinicidence that my speedometer stoped working right after I changed my starter, or could they be related? The funny thing is that it did work for the first few minutes of driving. Is any part of the speedometer cable even in that area?

I am going to check my fuses...

Any ideas or opinions are greatly apprecitated.



Thanks!

Jeff
