My speedometer stopped working on Saturday while I was driving. I have an S1 with mechanical unit. Before I go to the trouble of putting the car up on the lift, I was wondering if there might be anything other than disconnected or broken speedometer cable causing the problem. Thoughts?

Thank you for all of your advice.

I pulled out the cable and both square ends are intact. CHECK

Inserted one end into the speedometer and turned and speedometer 'jumped.' CHECK

That leaves the possibility/probability that the difficult to get to end has come disconnected.
Tomorrow's project.
