- 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
because they are broken.
There is no odometer/speedometer cable in that vehicle. The odometer/speedometer is electronic.
Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock (maybe).
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
If the speedo works, but the odometer doesn't . The cluster needs replaced.
They both work off of the same signal. If the speedometer works but the odometer doesn't, the odometer has failed.
its probably a blown fuse or relay
A 1996 Chrysler Town and Country does not have a speedometer or odometer cable. That signal comes from the transmission output speed sensor.
Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
If both the speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is at fault. If the speedometer doesn't work and the odometer does, I would suspect the instrument cluster is at fault.
The odometer runs on the same electronic gear driven sensor as the speedometer so if the speedometer is working and the odometer is not the problem is in the "Speed head" (speedometer unit in the dash). Mine and several others I have seen break at about 40,000 and will need replacing.
A Harley Davidson speedometer is tank mounted and incorporates an odometer. It is made made from heavy duty chrome and depending on the bike model it can also have a built in tachometer.
