If striking the dashboard encourages or clears the fault then either a bad earth or bad solder joints on the membrane sheet behind the dials.

2003 Chevy Tahoe speedometer shows incorrect speed What is the problem?
How far off is it? Did you change tire/wheel size? Bad speed sensor.
What makes the speedometer and tachometer stop working?
There are 2 sensors on the engine that sent a signal to the computer and speedometer and tach. When one of these goes bad it can make the speedometer and tach go all over the place and also just stop working. This can also cause all types of engine running problems because the information being sent to the PCM will be incorrect all so. The units are easy to replace once you find them, it seems that they are located in different areas of the engine with each year the vehicle was put out. Your local dealer should be able to tell you the location of each sending unit. .AnswerIf your speedometer is not working, it is probably the speed (distance) sensor. There are tons of sensors. Follow the speedometer cable down to where it attaches to the sensor...Unplug speedo cable, pull elec plug, remove 10mm bolt, pull out, replace is opposite. (This is not the same sensor as the input or output sensors)

How do you adjust the speed ometer to accommodate larger tires?
The speedometer does not take into consideration the size of the tires. It measures the rpm's of the transmission or differential. **incorrect, the speedometer uses a predetermined constant based on the circumference of the stock tire diameter multiplied by the number of revolutions** I suggest driving alongside a friend who can signal you when his speedometer reaches predetermined speeds according to the speed zone and check your own speedometer to determine the speed you need to drive for that speed zone. Do this on a rural road with no oncoming traffic to avoid any accidents.
