There is two wires on the rear drive shaft and they are probably broken. Have them soldered and it will work fine.
I took my 02 liberty 6 cyl. to have it diagnosed. Stated that the speed output sensor was bad. I bought a new one and replaced it. (There are two sensors on this transmission - input and output) Speedometer still not working! I swapped sensors, since it is the same sensor for input or output, but still no speedometer working. There are two more sensors in the differential. Those did not appear on the diagnostic tool but i might consider replacing. If anyone has ran into this problem yet, please spread the wealth. Thanks.
Our odometer/tripmeter also just stopped working at 220,000 miles. This is an integral part of the speedometer assembly, and cannot be repaired. The entire speedometer must be replaced.
If all the gauges in the clustor are working and only the speedometer is not, I suspect the Vehicle Speed Sensor which is located in the transaxle. Easy to replace and only about $15. http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Speed_Sensor/CADILLAC/SEVILLE/1999
This happend on one of my cares. It was just a cable that needed to be changed under the hood. I am sure anyone at napa or autozone can help you out.
This link should answer your question - however mostly relates to complete non function of the cluster. http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/Maintenance/Electrical/Capacitors.htm hope i was off some service.
Same problem. My speedometer sometimes works, sometimes it stops for days and than pops back. It can even start and stop several times on a small trip. there is also a speed sensor located in the rear of glove box witch is not difficult to replace and this will cure the problem this sensor can be got at a local scrap yard for very little money
it may be your instrument cluster according to a mechanic i talked to.if it is let me know im having the same problem
There is no recall on the speedometer, though it a very common problem.
- I have a 2002 Caravan with the similar symptoms - speedometer stopped working but tripometer and odometer still work. The speedometer needle is wrapped all the way around past the top speed and resting on the bottom of the needle resting peg. I saw a posting about reseting the dashboard by removing the IOD fuse and replacing it but that did not help. I also tried pressing the trip button in and turning the ignition on as described in another post with no luck. Has anyone solved this or do I have a faulty speedometer requiring replacement? thanks Steve
I had the same problem...the alternator went bad. Both the alternator and battery had to be replaced.
speedometer has no wiring,it is an electronic module,needs replacement- check e-bay,there are many available there
OK, I have the exact same problem and am working to find out the solution. If and when I do I will post an answer. If you are able to find a solution first please post it here. Thanks
