R32 Speedo Cable Has Had The End Pulled Out

My speedo cable seems to have fallen inside the plug, there is a lubed up bit of plastic that I can pull out and the cable itself seems to be recessed about 1 inch down the cable and I can't grab it with pliers. What has gone wrong with the cable? Is it meant to be this far inside the plug (dash end of the plug) and how do I reattached the piece of plastic to it with the teeth on the end so I can re-use it?

I'm a bit confused how the plug on the end attaches and I can get it all back together, for some reason it just stopped working and when I pulled it out of the cluster it just seemed to fall apart.

It may not be broken, the cable does 'travel' a bit through its outer casing. Although, from memory, there should be a grommet to stop the cable from falling back down through the casing to a certain point. Perhaps that has fallen off? Pull it off at the gearbox and push the cable back through a bit and try that. Failing that, don't bother with a second hand one. A new genuine one is cheap, $80-$100, and its not the kind of job you want to have to do twice, after you realise that the second hand one you just put in doesn't work, or worse, that the cable has 'whip', causing the speedo to bounce erratically at certain speeds.

IME using the R32 cable with the Navara sender tends to mean you have to curve the cable through a fairly mean radius near the gearbox and chassis rail to get it all together, and this results in whip regardless. My speedo was dead stable (but had a small error) with the R32 gearbox but has a small wiggle at all speeds (although it is spot on accurate, so who cares).

Rolls has Neo conversion, so he might have discovered how long an old R32 cable can work with the extra strain on it.

I had the same problem as GTSboy, very small radius bend in the cable and now my speedo jumps around a bit. Nothing major, just annoying when you know it worked fine beforehand.

i guess that's the price of having an RB25 in an R32.

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
