speedometer goes backwards??!! w.t.f.
96 cherokee country 4 W/D auto 4.0 HO 246.000 miles
Yes...when i drive ,my speedometer needle goes counter clockwise.the needle rest below the 0 mph mark and continues in a c.clockwise direction and swings around to the 85 mph mark at which im going about 55-60 mph. If i go faster the needle wont go much past the 85 mph mark even though i'm acellerating.The odometer works perfect so i'm thinking the sender at the transfer case is ok. Odometer is accurate because i've clocked it & compared with my GPS unit.
Im at a loss & dont know what to check next.....any help or exprience with this problem would be greatly apreciated!

There is not a speedo cable on your 93. The magnet in your cluster is probably going bad. You will just need to get a new cluster probably.

Your flux capacitor has reached 1.21 jiggawats and you must have ended up at 88 mph. It's not a speedometer anymore it's a device to tell you what year you are in.
Sorry. It is 5:45 am and I have been up all night at work I just had to post something cheeky.
