What could be the solution if your electronic dash - fuel gauge speedometer- is not working properly?

If your fuel gauge and speedometer are not working on an all electronic/digital dashboard chances are you have a fuse that needs replaced or, you may need to check behind the dashboard for physical signs of water damage.
I suggest trying to change fuses first. Even all electronic cars like my Cadillac do well when I pull every fuse from the fuse panels and reinstall them. It doesn't hurt the on board computer as long as the car is not running while you're pulling them. Start the car after all have been replaced.
I have often found that doing this also helps things begin to work that may have been out of commission for a while as well. For NON-DIGITAL dash lights, simply check the light bulbs behind the speedometer and dash areas to examine the condition of the bulbs themselves. Often, moisture blows these bulbs out from condensation caused by temperature changes in the passenger compartment. Though you shouldn't have excessive moisture or you may have a leak that needs serious looking into. Keep all windows up at night.

Have your mechanic check the speedometer cable connections. They no longer use a cable. It is electronic. If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, the problem is in the dash cluster. If both the speedometer and odometer are not working, the speed sensor in the transmission may be at fault.
Why does the speedometer stop working sometimes?
Either your VSS (vehicle speed sensor) or your GEM Module (generic electronic module) is not working/broke.

Why would your speedometer stop working after 30 miles with lights on but not when off?
If this is an electronic unit, the heat generated after the lights are on for one half hour, is affecting the intergrity of the electronic circuit board.
95 Honda accord and have replaced the speed control sensor but the speedometer is not working?
Since you replaced the sensor, and the speedometer still isn't working it is possible that you will need to replace the speedometer cable. Check the cable first to be sure that it is still properly connected, and if so replace the cable to see if that solves the problem.

When you replace a speedometer head on a 1994Mercury Cougsr XR7 is the speedomoter head under the car or in dashboard?
the speed sensor is located on the side of the transmission, there is no physical cable like the older cars, the speedometer and sensor are electronic. If the speedometer is working and showing speed traveled but the trip meter (odometer) is not working, the speedometer itself is faulty, is the speedometer is not showing speed travel and the odometer is not logging miles travel, then most likely the speed sensor is dead.
