1989 XJ Laredo Speedo Cable Replacement

Having trouble finding a compatible speedo cable for my 89 Laredo. It has cruise control, however it doesn't work. I've heard it's a different kind of cable if it has cruise control. The reason I am replacing is the clip that goes to the instrument cluster snapped. It still works but it's just pressed up against it. Anybody know the correct cable I need?

Edit: Further research shows it is a two piece cable, with the second upper piece going to the gauge cluster. So, I might be able to replace just that one I assume?

with cruise control there is an additional digital speed sensor under the dash. the upper cable is a separate piece. if you want to ditch the cruise control you can order a lower cable on rockauto.

Not sure the Renix (89) is digital? Unless the output cable wiring from the sensor to the ECU is digital? Maybe it is. The Gauge itself is analog I think and the input cable is mechanical-analog. I think that sensor changed in 91 and again in later years. There is speedometer cable specialty shop in north west Houston, Tx I use for those parts and Issues. It is all they do. They actually fab cables there. Might find them on Google, but I had to take the parts the cable attaches to, to them and give them the length I wanted to get a custom one.

the gauge itself is mechanical but with cruise control it has a 2 wire speed sensor connected to the cruise control module. it sits between the upper and lower cables.
