Ron, Double check your ground wire. You can attach the ground wire to one of the screws on the u shaped bracket for the top tie down. Be sure to scrape the paint off where your terminal lug touches the car. That was my problem when mine didn't work. Good luck. Brad

Hi Ron, Yes, but when It didn't work, I called Dean (I installed Prowler Pro Gears) and this was his suggestion and that fixed my problem. A couple of months ago, someone else had the same problem and the ground fix also took care of his (Can't remember who it was). Moving the ground wire was easy. You could probably add an extra jumper for the ground. I wouldn't think an extra ground wire would cause any problems. Perhaps Tony could respond with some input.
Good luck!! Brad

I recently installed the gears and had the same problem. Hard wire and solder the ground wire. Don't use the clips provided. They just don't work!!

I can almost promise you that will fix your speedo. problem.

Tony told me to take the speedometer adapter apart and move the little switches back and forth
Thats all i did and now it works
Must have been a switch that did not make contact
their are 14 little switches and you have to use a little screwdriver to move them
