If you replaced your speed sensor and speedometer on your 1993 C 1500 what would cause the speedometer to be elevated 10-15 miles more than it should be and set off a governor at around 75-80 mph?

why did you have to change the sensor in the first place? was it broken? are you sure you put the correct one back in? if so, are you sure you are running the same size tires that came on the truck when it was stock? an increase in tire rolling circumference will cause your speedo to be off like you describe. ==Respond== I changed the speed sensor because only the speedometer was broken, the tach and other gauges including the odometer worked great. When that didnt work, I changed out the speedometer cluster, now the needle moves, however its in accurate. I will look into the tire size, I bought the truck last month, so I dont know if the tires have been changed. Is it possible all I need is to ge the computer re programmed? ==Re-Question== The tire size is the stock size, I am thinking either it's the computer, which I have no idea how to diagnose it, or it could be the replaced speedometer cluster is faulty, no good. ANy comments or help would be appreciated.

If I replaced the vehicle speed sensor on my 1996 maxima SE 3.0L V6 and my speedometer still doesn't work and when i hook up my OBD2 it still reads code P0500 vehicle speed sensor can anyone help?
Either the wire from the VSS to the speedometer is bad or your speedometer is bad. A common problem with this vintage of Maximas is for the speedometer head unit to go bad. The VSS sends the signal to the speedometer and the speedometer relays it to the computer - therefore, if the speedometer is bad, you would get a P0500 code. On my car, the speedometer displayed the correct speed but replacing it fixed the CEL. The speedometer costs around $200 (not including labor) and you will have to drop another $25 to get it set to the correct mileage. The replacement can be done by a competent home mechanic in 2 hours. Expect to spend several hundred dollars on labor at the dealer.

Insulate the speedometer cluster, there's too much electrical "noise" surrounding it. That causes the signals to get confused; happens on all fords and AMCs that I know over time.

Your speedometer quit working and now your car will not go from first gear and when you make sudden stops it will cut off What do you think this is from?
Speedometer quit working, car wont shiftI drove a 1993 Ford Taurus. It had transmission controlled shifting. In my situation, there was a very small $5.00 piece(plastic, of course) inside the tranny that controlled the shifting which needed to be replaced. I actually had it replaced at the dealer and cost me around $160.00. Sorry I couldn't help more but hope this gives you a direction, William
