What causes speedometer not to work on gm alero?
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.

Why would a 2005 Honda Element speedometer not work?
If the speedometer and odometer doesn't work I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is faulty.If the speedometer doesn't work but the odometer does, I would suspect the gauge cluster is at fault.
What else other than a speed sensor would make the speed odometer not work on a 99 Oldsmobile intrigue 3.8 and has no odometer cable on it?
The gauge itself may be dead. I have seen one dead speedometer in a dash in 30 years, and that one was the old mechanical kind.

Does your odometer work? If the speed sensor goes faulty both speedometer and odometer stop working.
How do you know if your odometer cluster is bad on a 1999 chevy s-10?
If both the odometer and the speedometer do not work it may be the speed sensor in the transmission is bad. If only the odometer does not work it is probably a bad cluster.
Why would odometer and speedometer not work and transmission not shift right on a 1996 Chevrolet?
You need to replace the speed sensor on the rear of the transmission.
What happened if odometer wire is diconected from transmission?
That depends on the year, make, and model. Most newer cars do not have a dedicated speedometer or odometer wire. The speed sensors are also used for shift timing. If it as old enough vehicle that has a dedicated speed sensor the speedometer and cruise would also not work. Some vehicles, such as 1998 on up Dodge trucks, use the abs sensors for the speedometer and odometer.
