1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo speedo/odometer outage?
The speedometer and odometer went out in my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo just yesterday. Everything else in the cluster works just fine as far as I can tell. The instant fuel economy digital readout in the center up on the roof also outputs a constant "0 MPG" when driving. There isn't a problem with anything else. Radio, wipers, lights, other gauges all work fine. I pulled the dashboard apart and took the cluster out. Nothing noticeable so far but I can't get the needle off of the speedometer gauge to take it apart. I looked at the fuses under the hood but none of those were associated with the cluster and the fuses to the left of the dash do not have any description as to what is what. I need to know how to get the needle off if the problem is in the gauge panel cluster or what to do if the problem is somewhere else and is a mechanical issue instead. Other than that, I heard and saw the resettable odometer gauge clicking and not moving about a month ago while driving. I pushed the reset button and it fixed it instantly but it along with the actual odometer gauge are not "rolling" at the moment. Well I feel like a complete dumbass. The cable was unplugged from the sensor connected to the transmission. It was a 2 second fix as soon as I found it and I have no idea how it came off. Now I know for next time...

hi there. it is quite common for the cable and housing to disconnect from a dodge/jeep vehicle. The front wheel drives are even more prone to this happening. when you screw it back on use a crescent wrench and give it a good snug. i hope this helps. Good luck!

What's it like to live in Laredo, TX?
I'm from Shepherd, TX (45 minutes NE of Houston, TX) and may be relocating there for work. How bad is the crime? Is it safe to be there?

Its kind of strange. Everyone is naked all the time and huge boobs are mandatory. Seriously, I would check the demographics before moving anywhere though that would give you a good idea of not just crime, but a lot of miseries you may have to look forward to

I don't know

Hmmm it's way better than Houston as for gangs and such.

It is warmer than where you are. We are about 96% Hispanic, but as an Anglo, I have always been treated well. We have great Mexican restaurants but little else. Not much to do, I am old, I don't know what younger folk do. Also, we are isolated.... its 150 miles to almost anyplace except Mexico. Nuevo Laredo is right across the river and filled with crime, very little of that comes across, this is a safe place.
