Turned out to be a speedometer cable. If it is anything like my Dodge, you will need a contorsionist that has fingers 11 inches long with 7 knuckles in each finger to get to the connector. "U-do-it" lube kits should be available at your local auto parts store. Good Luck! -- "Our eyes and hands and feet will give us the same assistance in doing mischief as in doing good; but it would not therefore be better for the world, that all mankind were blind and lame. Arms are not to be laid aside by honest men, because carried by assassins and ruffians; they are to be used the rather for this very reason." -George Campbell (1719-1796)
