Re: [Chrysler300] 300F Speedometer

Hi all:
 
Several years ago I had the same problems Terry has now.  I obtained a  
medical syringe and placed some oil in it.  The screw is rather difficult  to 
get out as it is on the bottom and not much space to get a screw driver  
into.  But performing a balancing act with the screw driver and screw, both  
extracting and inserting, I managed to get the screw out, injected a couple of  
drops of oil and reinserted the screw.  As Charlie said, it took care of  
the problems.

Hi  Terry,
Yes there is. It's at the top, right in front of where the  speedometer 
cable screws on the back. If you feel up there you will find a  small flat area 
that has a hole in it. In the hole is where you need to put a  few drops.  
Maybe put a couple in tonight, let that soak in and the add a  few more in 
the morning. You can do it with the speedometer cable attached or  if you 
have a short piece of speedometer cable, unattach the cable, add the  oil, 
insert the end of the short piece  in the cable hole and run the  short piece 
slowly with a drill. That way you can see how its progressing and  know when 
you have enough oil. After a while I would not be afraid to run the  drill at 
a faster speed.
About 5 years ago I had a completely frozen  speedometer head in my car, 
did this and its been okay ever since.
Good  luck and Happy 300'ing

Is there an under-dash oil  wick to lubricate the speedometer head? My 
speedometer is making a  noise, and the needle jumps around a bit.
