Is your speedometer not working? If your abs light or tracs light is on it may be the brake control module causing your speedo not to work.
by spanking it
If the speedo il ok but the odometer doesn't work, take it to a speedo shop as the problem is in the speedo.
Sounds like it needs a software update which can usually only be made by a certified Volvo service center. This may be free.
there is 2 of them depending on what type of tranny you have, the MAIN sensor that makes the speedo work is located on the rear transfer case and NOT on the tranny itself. the other is a much smaller sensor that does go on the tranny but that ones DOESN'T effect your speedo. if you speedo is not working then its going to be the BIG sensor in the rear.
Change the speedo cable!
Sorry but no, it's prolly the cable that connects the speedo to the tranny, or the speedo itself, or perhaps the speedo gear drive at the tailshaft of your trans, if you can get behind and up in back of the speedo, or just carefully loosen the speedo unit, pull it out, the cable should be easy to see, it has a clip holding it into the back of the speedo, unclip it and turn the cable with a pair of vise grips or whatever, if it's broken you'll know. It's a matter of the process of elimination, start at the speedo and work your way back to the trans if you have to, to find the problem. jr
does the speedo work? the speedo, odo, and trip odo all work off the same cable if they are mechanical and not digital. so, if the speedo works, then the prob must be in the guage head. if it doesnt, then its 98 % cance theres a prob with the cable. 2% chance its with the drive gear in the trans.
Just been to the dealer with the same problem. Turned out that it's a diode behind the dash and apparently it can't be replaced on its own, i.e. I will need to get a new dash installed at a cost of £600. Second hand dashboard is not an option because when the dash is installed the dealership says it needs to be programmed for the car.
No
on my windstar speedo only worked when it wanted to I replaced the speedo head 2 years later still works great
because the bulb has blown
