Hi all - I am the proud new owner of a '89 FJ62, and new to participating here, beyond being a reader.
The radio in the truck I just acquired has been working intermittently. I figured there must be a loose wire or something simple, so decided to take the task of investigating on myself. I am not very mechanically inclined, but I do know a thing or two about wiring. Ran into two problems.. one more significant than the other. 1) Less (not really at all) significant - I don't have a screwdriver long enough to get the radio out, so that was a fail.. 2) More significant - when I removed the dash panel, the speedometer cable detached and there isn't enough slack for me to reconnect it before putting the panel back on. I would need a two dimensional hand..
Am I missing something obvious? I tugged on it a bit, but hesitated to pull too hard on the cable for fear of making the matter worse.
Thanks in advance for any help.
