Where does the speedometer cable run from on a 97 Dodge Intrepid?

On a 1997 Dodge Intrepid, the speedometer cable (or the vehicle speed sensor wire, depending on the transmission type) runs from the transmission to the instrument cluster behind the dashboard.

More specifically:

* Automatic Transmission: It's likely a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) rather than a cable on an automatic transmission. The VSS is located on the transmission case itself and sends an electronic signal to the instrument cluster.

* Manual Transmission: If it's a manual transmission, there *might* be a traditional speedometer cable. The cable's end would connect to a component on the transmission's output shaft.

To be absolutely certain: Consult your 1997 Dodge Intrepid's repair manual or a reliable online parts diagram specific to your car's VIN. The diagrams will show the exact location and routing of the speed sensor or cable. The type of transmission (automatic or manual) is crucial to determine which type of system you have.
