Removal of instrument cluster

[RedSierra]

Let me first say that I am like a farm boy in physics class when it comes to working on my truck but I am hooked and can't stop wanting to work on it.

That leads me to this.
I know this has been addressed and I have tried to find and read all the post I could about it but I have hit a roadblock.

I have unhooked my speedometer from the dash to replace the dash lights.
When I put the speedometer back in it makes that famous annoying noise.

I can drive with the speedometer unhooked from the cable and there is no noise. So I'm thinking that the cable is fine.

Am I putting the actual speedometer back on wrong or does it just simply plus back in?

Any help on what steps to take next would be great.
I know this type of situation has bee addressed 1000 times I just can't seem to understand.

Thanks For Any Help.

I hope mine doesn't do this. I had mine out this winter doing a dash restoration and I haven't driven the truck yet since doing so. I will await to hear some feedback on this issue.

But I read recently that they need greased and we probably needed to do this before hooking it back up.

If it was fine before ,it may not be seated right
I'd try looking up from behind see if it's seated ok

Thanks for the help! That is it. It wasn't seated properly. Good job.
Thanks again
